Project Description
This is the model from the 1960’s designed by José Ramirez III, to which we have incorporated new techniques of construction based on his experience and breakthroughs of his ancestors. Thus, with the Traditional Line, we keep our deep, sweet, potent, and rich in harmonics guitar sound.
The basic model has six strings. Nevertheless, it can also be built with 8 and10 strings. We can also adjust it to flamenco, therefore becoming our model Tradicional “Serranito”.
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.
