At the beginning of 1993,  Amalia Ramirez restructured the shop,  returning to the original outline of a reduced workshop, and a limited production. Today all Ramirez professional guitars are sold well in advance.  In the summer of 1995, the Ramirez store moved from Concepción Jerónima nº2, to the street of La Paz nº 8, very near the old store. 

    At the moment, the House of Ramírez workforce comprises of nine people. In the workshop there are three officials -Carmelo Llerena, Fernando Morcuende and Ricardo Sáenz -, and two apprentices -Marcos Moyano and Pedro Abel Morcuende. Supervising the organization is Marisa Sanzano, who checks the production in the workshop and occupies herself with the administrative work. 

     Currently the Ramirez workshop and store are under the very capable supervision of Amalia Ramirez.  Amalia,  a fine guitar builder,  says this about the current Professional line of instruments.  "I have re-adopted the model of the 1960's, applying new techniques to its construction and basing it on the experiences and advances of past years. With the Classic Line, we therefore return to our guitar with a deep, potent sound, rich in harmonics, characteristic of the sixties."

      The Twelfth Fret is proud to be the Canadian distributor of the Ramirez Professional Series of instruments including the Concert 1a models.   The Ramirez C-650 Model 1a pictured above is currently available for evaluation at our store!
