The epitome of Spanish concert guitars Ramirez is the powerhouse of Spanish guitar making. The 1A is at the pinnacle of the Ramirez Workshop, who have set the standard in guitar making since 1882. It displays all the hall marks of a 1A Colour full, full bodied exquisite trebles and warm ringing rich basses and velvety mid-range. With perfect balance across basses and trebles with a rich midrange.

This guitar was made in ‘82 with Andres Segovia at the peak of his powers dominated the concert stage and where Segovia went all other concert guitarists followed.

This is the model played by most of the concert guitarist throughout the 20 Century including Andres Segovia, Narciso Yepes, Agustin Barrios, Julian Bream, Christopher Parkening, winner of many prizes and used in countless recordings.

It’s the classical Ramirez sound with wonderful sustain and colour. The guitar resonates with a powerful, deep and colourful sound and superb balance and sustain.

Woods were well seasoned and very selected in the workshop in ’84 now they are unobtainable. The rosette and details of marquetry are of the highest quality.
