From Guitarras Ramírez we have collaborated with the writer Suzanne Wales and the publishing house Princeton Press, showing our work of craftsmanship in the construction of guitars.
Thus, we present you the book that the author has published, where she travels around the Iberian Peninsula and some cities in Portugal, collecting the stories of great craftsmen, both emerging and already established, and showing photographs and explanations of their workshops and products.
