Project Description
This guitar is born as a response to the demand for an instrument similar in sound to the guitars that were made at the beginning of the 20th century. It is constructed with a spruce top and/or, only by order, with a red cedar top.
In times when the tastes upon the Classical Guitar are so various, we want to offer more possibilities, mainly focusing on two lines of construction:
- Our template of the Tradicional model.
- The Ramírez historical guitars, which are completely different in conception, sound, color and tone to the line before.
All José Ramírez Handcrafted Guitars can be ordered with a thinner neck, which thickness is 1,9 cm to 2,00 cm on the second fret. Please specify this at the time of order.
This guitar can also be built with “cámara”.

We call “cámara” an interior fan, designed by Ramírez, glued in the middle of the sides. We can build any of our guitars with this fan if the customer orders it specifically. The fan can be made of Indian rosewood or red cedar or German spruce. It takes away the “wolf” notes, and it helps the sound to be clear, where the notes are perfectly separated between them.
