All solid woodsAction is 5 mm to 3 mm with extra saddle height to lowerAll original conditionConcert guitar for the professional musicianBright, open and well balanced across the rangeGood condition for 50 years oldComes with hard-shell case Luthiers’ Initials on the inside:JF – Jose' Flores Duro , a respected luthier working at the Ramirez atelier on Calle Concepcion Jeronima, 2, in Madrid, in the 1960’s. This 1966 Ramirez has all the qualities of a true Madrid-school flamenco guitar :It is extremely well balanced tonally and it responds very quickly to the touch, being a Flamenco.It is bright without being tinny, has a full & rich mid-range and a clean bass end.The higher registers are sweet and sensuous.Flamenco guitars are very much like fine Jerez wine from Andalucia...they only get better with age.In the hands of a flamenco player this guitar sings beautifully.This 1966 instrument has no cracks, just a few minor nicks and dents. The advantage you get is that it is in fantastic playing condition, having been “opened up” through years of playing.Instruments like this one are played by top professional guitarists around the world ( if you'd like to do some further research, you can check out the Guitar Salon in California or Trilogy Guitars, also in CA, among others).Very desirable for its quality (and quantity) of sound, superb playability and aesthetic beauty – collector and performer alike will find this to be an extremely exciting instrument to own and play.( for further information on the various kinds of labels being used by Ramirez in the 1960’s, you can go to the blog of the Guitar Salon in CA )PS - Please keep in mind that this is not a studio model (called "guitarra de estudio") or any of the other R or E models, which do not even come close to a primera clase (called 1A) Ramirez
