140 YEARS CW

The 140 Years Cutaway is a cutaway study guitar made in Spain to our specifications, and it comes with the Ramírez case included.

With these models, we celebrate almost a century and a half of history, during which we have played an active role in the transformation of the Spanish guitar. The introduction of cedar for soundboards, the ebony strip in the neck, internal carbon reinforcement, synthetic finishes, and the body shape of the modern flamenco guitar developed by the Madrid School of Guitar Makers are just some of the important milestones that have earned us a prominent place in the history of the guitar.

The 140 Years models feature a beautiful design by Amalia Ramírez, the first woman in this dynasty of guitar makers and one of the pioneers in the profession. On this occasion, she has chosen the narcissus flower, which symbolizes “new beginnings”. She selected it after the pandemic as a way of looking towards a more optimistic and constructive future, which we know will come sooner or later.

These are study guitars built on the body shape of the 125, 130 and Tiempo commemorative guitars. They are highly versatile and particularly well suited for amplification when required. For this reason, we offer the option of fitting them with the LR Baggs system, whose combination of microphone and pickup allows you to appreciate all the nuances that make the guitar such a complete instrument, capable of working not only as a harmonic instrument, but also as a percussive one.
