| A deep and comprehensive understanding of guitar
building is evident in every detail of this new Model 1a C650 Traditional.
In the words of Amalia Ramirez; "This is the model from the 1960's designed
by my father José Ramírez III, applying new techniques to
its construction and based on the experience and breakthroughs of the past
years. Thus, with the Traditional Line, we continue with our guitar which
gives a deep, potent sound, and is rich in harmonics."
This particular instrument is a custom guitar
that features the 125th Anniversary soundhole rosette, new custom
monogrammed precision tuning machines, a Master Grade Western Red
cedar top and absolutely gorgeous Madagascar rosewood back & sides!
Madagascar rosewood has a bell-like tap tone that
is very similar to Brazilian rosewood ... and ultimately imparts a similar
sweet midrange and well defined attack transient when applied as back &
side material. This attribute, in conjunction with a
Master Grade Western Red cedar top and the renown lush romantic overall
tonality that Ramirez has built their reputation on, makes for a
powerful and extremely expressive Concert Classical guitar!!! |
