This is the top model from the José Ramirez workshop with no-holds-barred on quality of woods or decorative imagination. It is poetically called "El Centenario" and it does have a hundred year heritage of the finest guitar making. A truly stately instrument that feels at once like an exceptional example of the luthier's art. The magical name of Jose Ramirez was made famous world-wide years ago by Andre Segovia who played several during his long career on concert stages around the world.
