| Ramirez guitars have been the benchmark for professional
level concert classical instruments almost since the 12 year old Jose Ramirez
I began his apprenticeship in 1870! Today the rich tradition of Ramirez
Guitars is carried on by Amalia Ramirez in Madrid, Spain.
Amalia was born in 1955 to Jose Ramirez
III and apprenticed guitar building beside her brother, Jose Ramirez
IV. She has been in charge of every aspect of the shop since the
death of Jose IV in June of 2000 ... checking each and every instrument
at all stages of the construction process!
The Twelfth Fret is proud to be the
distributor for Ramirez Professional level instruments in Canada!
We always have an excellent stock of both the Professional Series of concert-level
instruments, as well as the SP and NE-series instruments. As
a matter of fact we have just received a large shipment of Ramirez guitars
including this magnificent sounding model 1a C-650 Traditional guitar that
features a bookmatched Western Red cedar top, Indian rosewood back
and sides, cypress interior side liners, an ebony fingerboard
and a very warm and authoritative voice! |
