Here is one of the finest examples of a concert grade José
Ramirez guitar of any era, very complex and subtle overtone series,
commanding voice and very good balance, considerably louder than
a 6-string Ramirez.
10-string master concert model, bearing orig. label: José
Ramirez, Conception Jeronima #2, Madrid, 1972, clase 1a, top
stamped inside near the neck #2 which stands for the Luthier
Cayetano Alvarez Luna (according to the information provided
by Guitar Salon). Solid red cedar top with a nearly invisible
professionally repaired hairline crack from the bridge to the
lower rim, absolutely breathtaking Brazilian rosewood back and
sides of a stunning chocolate color with rich and dramatic 'spider
webbing', even more surprisingly there are no cracks or checks
in the wood, a "Segovia" style cypress double inner
side veneer, very good straight mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard
with good frets, very good action, plays easy, the lacquer still
has the appearance of a new guitar with only a few nail marks
near the treble side, scale 66.4 cm, nut 8.5 cm, original capo
and case.
