This is a beautiful classical guitar from the shop of Jose Ramirez I and was built at a time when Jose I had already been an independent guitar maker for over 3 decades (his workshop was established in 1882). Aesthetically the guitar shows the strong influence of his teacher, Francisco Gonzalez - particularly in the head shape, wide bouts of the plantilla, and bridge shape with tapered wings. This particular guitar was built by one of the workers (Julian Gomez Ramirez) who would later achieve great fame after leaving Spain for Paris and establishing the foundation for the French school after befriending Robert Bouchet. Soundwise, this is powerful, rich-sounding, with an abundance of harmonics in every note. Its most recent phase of restoration was carried out by Rafael Moreno Rodriguez of Granada, Spain who installed an internal "dedication label" to its current owner, Pepe Romero. Absolutely charming and elegant in every way.
