Possibly one of the most played and known of any Spanish made guitar in history, the Ramirez 1a model continues to satisfy players as a truly outstanding performance instrument by any standard. This guitar has all the color and warmth normally associated with a great Ramirez, and has playability more like these Madrid-made guitars of the 1950s. For attention to detail, quality of construction and sound, we rate this instrument very highly. This 1988 model is in excellent condition with virtually no signs of prior use. Easy to play with that immediately identifiable, classic sound that only comes from a great Ramirez concert guitar.
