| Comments | Ramirez guitars are special to play; so much of the history of guitar music is interwoven with the history of the Ramirez guitar shop.This is a 1972 Ramirez Flamenco 1a Guitar in very nice condition. Featuring traditional construction with friction tuners, cedar top, cypress back and sides, Spanish cedar neck and Spanish construction, this guitar is loud and brilliant yet not harsh.Players of traditional instruments like this one might be tempted to quietly upgrade the friction tuners to PegHeds. These are intended to add geared stability and convenience to tuning, while maintaining the traditional appearance, with minimal changes to the instrument. Read about PegHeds here |
| Serial Number | 6132, dating to 1972, built at the Ramirez shop in Madrid, Spain. |
| Pricing | $3,900.00 Canadian with original hardshell case. SOLD |

| Frets | Original frets with very little wear. |
| Body | The classic Ramirez flamenco design, with Cedar top for warmth and Cypress back and sides for light weight, brilliance, and projection. |
| Finish | Original gloss lacquer finish in good shape; there are some small dings behind the bridge, the usual wear from years of string changes. There is a small amount of thumb wear at the ege of the soundhole, by the bass edge of the fingerboard. |
| Hardware/electronics | All original, with traditional rosewood friction tuners. Golpe plates installed, bone nut and saddle. Some players might be tempted to use the Peghed geared retrofit tuners – these are intended to look the same, not require much if any modification, and make tuning much simpler. |
