There are moments that define the course of a centennial history. For Guitarras Ramírez, one of those turning points occurred following the unexpected and painful passing of José Ramírez IV in the year 2000.
Until that instant, tradition marked a path, but destiny forced it to be rewritten. Today, we open our archives to share with you a unique visual document. It is the first interview granted by Amalia Ramírez shortly after assuming the direction of the company following the loss of her brother.
A testament to resilience
In those days, uncertainty mingled with grief, but also with deep determination. Amalia, who had already been working side by side with José Enrique (José IV) for years on the restructuring of the workshop and the return to traditional artisanal construction, stepped forward to lead the dynasty.
This video captures the exact moment of that transition. It is the record of a woman taking the reins of one of the most important guitar houses in the world.
What this historical document reveals
We invite you to watch and listen to this piece carefully. Beyond the technical data, these images convey the essence of a crucial era:
- The voice of experience: Listening to Amalia speak at that moment allows us to appreciate the clarity and deep respect for the craft that have always characterized her, even in the most difficult circumstances.
- Assured continuity: It was during this stage that the foundations of current management were cemented, ensuring that the “José Ramírez” label remained synonymous with excellence under her command.
- Intact passion: It is a direct look at the honesty of the luthier, where passion for wood and sound prevails over any adversity.
This video is a fundamental part of our memory, and we want it to be part of yours too. Because every guitar that leaves our workshop today carries the courage and dedication that breathe through these images.
