This guitar was built in the famous Jose Ramirez III workshop, which for over half a century has produced instruments performed on by countless professionals from Sting to Segovia, Chet Atkins to Sabicas and Lee Ritenour to Christopher Parkening. The guitar is very easy to play, with a lovely neck and easy action, despite the way many of the guitars from this period were set up. The tone is thick yet clear, and has that essential warm, mysterious and moody quality that made Ramirez famous in the great recordings made by Segovia and Parkening from this time. It features lush and dramatic CSA rosewood for the back and sides – quite a treat for the eyes. Apart from 2 well-repaired cracks (one in the back, one in the top) it is in great shape, plays wonderfully and has that classic, iconic sound known by several generations of performing guitarists. An excellent example of a fine Ramirez for either collector or concert player.
