Description

The tone of this guitar has that classic, identifiable Ramirez sound from this era - a rich, thick and yet clear voice throughout, and has that essential warm, mysterious and moody quality that made Ramirez famous. Stamped initials internally are MT (Mariano Tezanos), who along with AM (Antonio Martinez) was the most sought-after of the Ramirez makers (For a complete list of Ramirez luthiers from this era, click here), particularly due to the fondness Segovia had for his 1968 MT, arguably his favorite Ramirez, alongside his AM from the same year. There are no cracks or repairs in this instrument, and it is in excellent playing condition. An absolutely fantastic example of a of a top Ramirez from their golden era.
