[Profile]
Jose Ramirez is the most famous Spanish guitar brand in the world. This brand has even made the history of Spanish guitar making for more than a century since the era of Jose Ramirez I. In particular, the guitars produced during the era of Jose Ramirez III were both innovative and widely popular, and continued to attract guitar fans from all over the world.
The ceder is mainly adopted for the top, and the inside of the both sides is made of cypress, which is used in flamenco guitars, to create a double-layer structure. The string length is 664mm, which is longer than usual, and urea resin was used for the finish. These innovations made by Ramirez III on the classical guitar were truly original and had a great impact on later guitar making in general, and at the same time, the sweet, lustrous, romantic tone, known as the 'Ramirez-tone,' came to define the very image of the classical guitar.
The flagship model of Jose Ramirez III is '1A'. The basic shape of this model was created in 1964. Compared to the 1960s, the 1970s version has undergone several minor changes according to the demands of the times, and each guitar has different characteristics.

[Description]
This guitar is a top of the line flamenco 1A made in 1978 by the Ramirez III workshop.
The sound board is made of cedar, and the tone is pleasant to the ear and has a wonderful dry and crisp sound. The internal arrangement of the bars is fundamentally different from the classic model. There are cracks on the sides of the fingerboard and the edge of the golpe. There is also a repair of one crack on the back.
