A beautiful, early Sixties Ramirez in good condition. Some finish blemishes, playing wear and finish crazing.
The rich tone and strong projection of older Ramirez guitars have been famous since the days when the father of modern classical guitar playing performed on one during the high point of his long career on the world's stages. Andres Segovia made these guitars perhaps the most sought after of any classical "brand".
This guitar was built by Antonio Martinez Ortega (hence the "AM" initials on the heel) who also built Segovia's famous and long-favored 1969 Ramirez.
