[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 is the flagship model of Jose Ramirez III '1A' in Indian rosewood, made in 1975. Even today it occupies a unique position as its acoustics are very powerful and expressive.
There are repair marks of two cracks on the top. The neck is in good condition. The frets are slightly worn, but there are no problems with playing. Tuning machines are original Fusteros.
There is a '6' (produced by Arturo Sanzano Moreno) stamp inside the body.
