Jose Ramirez 1970 Flamenco

Up for consideration is a vintage Jose Ramirez 2a Flamenco guitar. This guitar was handmade in the famous Ramirez workshop in Madrid, in 1970, by Juan Miguel Guardiola Moreno. This guitar was his test to be promoted to a 1a master luthier. He passed the test, and all of his subsequent guitars were labeled 1a. New, these wonderful guitars sell for over $10,000, and even on the used market Ramirez guitars near the 1960s Golden Age sell for several thousand dollars. Here is a rare chance to pick up a wonderful Ramirez handmade Flamenco in excellent condition at a tremendous discount!!!

CONDITION
This guitar is in amazing condition for a 40-year-old instrument. The neck, back and sides are essentially mint. The top has a superficial crack repair on the bass side of the lower bout, by German Vasquez Rubio, who cleated the crack and refinished the top.

SOUND
The guitar has a wonderful sound, with great projection and a beautiful deep basses, and very nice trebles. Compared to my former Contreras 2a Flamenco, this guitar is much, much nicer sounding. Here are several sound files to give you an idea of what to expect. These 16 MP3 files have no compression, EQ or reverb -- just mic'd through a pair of Schoeps CMT 30 mics, into a Presonus ADL 600 preamp into a Rosetta 200 A/D converter. The last sound clip with viola has some reverb added.
