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 is a "new / old-stock" example from 2008. It has never been owned or purchased. A hardshell case is included with this guitar.
