The Jose Ramirez 1a from 1983 is a truly exceptional instrument, steeped in the rich history of guitar-making and showcasing the distinct, legendary Ramirez sound.

The combination of a cedar top and rosewood back and sides exemplifies the high-quality craftsmanship for which Ramirez is renowned.

The sound produced by this guitar is everything one could hope for in a Ramirez masterpiece: full, robust, and profoundly deep. It beautifully balances thickness and clarity, enveloped in a warm, mysterious tonal character. Each note resonates with controlled and balanced layers of overtones, enhancing the crystal-clear fundamental. The guitar’s tone carries a cathedral-like presence, delivering immense power that is perfect for any concert hall. It truly embodies the essence of a “concert grand” guitar, possessing a commanding and thunderous presence.

These guitars are highly sought after by collectors and remain a top choice for concert artists worldwide. In terms of both sound quality and collectability, this instrument is an outstanding example of Ramirez craftsmanship.

In excellent condition for its age, this guitar shows minimal wear from years of use and play. It comes with the original guitar case.
