Flamenco guitar José Ramírez 1974 “Mod. Sabicas”

This flamenco guitar was built by the popular José Ramirez signature in 1974, one of the most prolific periods of the firm, which flocked to his shop guitarists worldwide both classical and flamenco, Paco de Lucia, Manolo Sanlucar, Narciso Yepes, Serranito… among many others.

The wood used for the top is canadian cedar, and spanish Cypress for back and sides. The top has a very accentuated grain, completely straight and uniform. The back and sides are made of cypress wood, with an outstanding quality and beauty. This guitar model belongs to the Sabicas series, made with the same features as the guitar of the same firm which Maestro Sabicas usually played all along his successful career.

Its quality sound is really amazing, this is undoubtedly one of the finest guitars we have ever seen from the signature, a perfect balance between basses and trebles and an incredibly flamenco timbre that sublimely combines power and volume with quality and perfect pitch with that particular “dry” and “hollow” sound, typical in the best flamenco guitars.

The tension of this flamenco guitar is medium. The height of the strings in the fingerboard and saddle is very balanced, providing us with a high level of comfort for both hands, as well as simplicity for the performance itself.

The condition of this flamenco guitar is excellent, without any cracks or repairs of any kind.
