The Antique guitar was born in response to the demand for an instrument with a sound similar to the guitars of the early twentieth century, using the spruce-pine top and gomalaca varnish. With this model we intend to recover the construction style of our ancestors José Ramírez I (1858-1923) and Manuel Ramírez (1864-1916). In this way we focus mainly on three lines of construction: the template of our Traditional, the new techniques such as nomex and our historical guitars. It is a model with a sweet and deep sound, powerful although perhaps with less projection than our Traditional model, but it is full of nuances to enjoy playing it. The Antique guitar is made to order and you can consult us the modifications that you want through our mail, so that we can study it and make a new budget: tienda@guitarrasramirez.com.
