2005 Jose Ramirez "1aF" SP/CY

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.

This guitar is the top-of-the-line flamenco model from the esteemed Ramírez workshop which is suitable for both performance on a concert stage and for traditional flamenco playing with dancers and percussionists. It is a very lively instrument with excellent playability and volume; and has an authentic Spanish sound with a lot of bite, making it one of our favorite choices for the serious flamenco guitarist. This wonderful example from 2005 is in excellent condition, although there is a well-repaired cracked running along the side. It is perfectly stable and smooth to the touch.
