This guitar was built in the famous Jose Ramirez 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.
"1a" means "primera" in Spanish, meaning "1st" or "highest" quality. The 1a Traditional represents top quality in workmanship, detail and choice of wood. This model also features beautiful rosewood back and sides. It has a new rosette and purfling which are absolutely stunning. It has all the color and warmth that is normally associated with a great classic Ramírez. For attention to detail, quality of construction and sound, this is a first-class instrument.
