The Ramirez 4 NE – Estudio 3 Model Guitarras de Estudio is the top ‘production’ model from Ramírez.

Setup For New Ramírez guitars
We carefully inspect and setup all new Ramirez guitars to ensure that they are in perfect working order. Generally the “factory action” is in the range of 8/64 inches treble to 8.5/64 inches bass, which is in the normal range of standard classical “concert” action height for players using typical classical right hand technique and an aggressive light right-hand attack.
Nut height – we always adjust the nut slots to our preferred settings.
We will do any setup adjustments the purchaser requires and install new strings of their choice for no extra cost.
If you are playing in the Latin jazz style with free-stroke right hand technique and don’t anticipate using an aggressive rest stroke, then we would advise that we lower the action before shipping. If you are an aggressive player, then I would recommend staying with the current “standard” action height.
It is a given that we will setup any guitar we sell to suit the player.
It is best if you can provide as much information as possible about your playing style so we can make an informed decision on how to setup the guitar:
- Your right hand picking attack
- Free stroke vs. rest-stroke
- Classical right hand position vs. Chet or Latin style hand position
- Your estimation of your normal action height on your current guitars (low vs. medium or high)
- and anything else that will help us to setup your guitar appropriately.
Due to international agreements, new Ramírez guitars cannot be shipped to the USA.
There are no shipping restrictions on used Ramírez or on any other new or used guitars.
