Guitarras Ramírez is much more than an instrument workshop; it is a true emblem of Spanish musical culture and the Spanish guitar, forged over five generations of guitar makers in the Ramírez family. Since its founding in the 19th century by José Ramírez I, this family workshop has preserved and perfected the art of guitar making, becoming a global reference for the creation of Spanish guitars. What began in his shop in the Rastro district of Madrid has lasted for more than a century, and today, his descendants, led by Amalia Ramírez, continue the legacy with the same dedication and craftsmanship.
Legacy of a family of craftsmen
Amalia Ramírez, the first female master of the workshop in the family’s history, along with her nephews Cristina and Enrique, represents the fifth generation at the helm of Ramírez Guitars. This continuity makes the company the oldest Spanish guitar maker in the direct lineage from parent to child. With each generation, they have brought new knowledge and techniques to the craft without sacrificing the authentic, traditional character that defines every Ramírez guitar. This balance between innovation and tradition has positioned the workshop as one of the most respected and globally recognized artisan companies.
Commitment to a unique sound
At the Ramírez Guitars workshop, the construction of each guitar is a meticulous, handmade process. Each instrument is a unique piece of art, crafted with patience and attention to detail, all in pursuit of creating the best instruments for flamenco and classical music. Ramírez flamenco and classical guitar models are especially valued for their sound quality and precise craftsmanship attributes that have made them the top choice for musicians around the world.
The art of the guitar
Amalia Ramírez, together with Cristina and Enrique, continues to preserve the artisanal methods that José Ramírez established over a century ago, with adaptations made by each generation. Every Ramírez guitar reflects years of refinement and passion, a testament to their commitment to both the instrument and the musicians.
