Ramirez 2A Spruce Indian Rosewood 650 Scale

The name of Ramirez will need no introduction to lovers of the classical guitar.  The workshop has been dominant in Spanish lutherie now for many decades since its inception in 1882.  The 2A model shares the same features as the flagship 1A model, only differing in the fact that the wood has a minor blemish.   

The guitar features a Spruce top and beautifully book-matched Indian Rosewood back and sides and was built in 2009.  The design is that of the Tradicional 1A and differs only in having a knot on the inner lining.  It has the Amalia Ramirez signature on the label.  The neck has the traditional ebony reinforcing strip and the action is standard classical.  The nut size is slightly larger at 53mm and so the neck has a solid substantial feel to it, with the standard scale length of 652mm making the guitar very easy to play.  As might be expected, the sound is typical of Ramirez with the Spanish sound of strong basses and bright trebles.  Structurally the guitar is in virtually mint condition.  This is an opportunity to pick up a very fine example of the Ramirez workshop at a very attractive price.
