The José Ramírez “Antigua” Classical Guitar was created for players who long for the rich, expressive tone and character of early 20th-century Spanish guitars. Handcrafted in Spain by the legendary José Ramírez workshop, this exquisite instrument merges traditional Spanish luthiery with modern precision, embodying the timeless artistry that defines the Ramírez name. The “Antigua” comes standard with a spruce top for its brilliant, crystalline tone, with cedar available by custom order for players seeking a warmer, more rounded voice.

As part of the Ramírez Antique Line, this model recreates the tonal color, depth, and sensitivity of historic Ramírez guitars, distinguishing it from the workshop’s more contemporary Traditional Line. Its Indian rosewood back and sides and cypress single-side construction produce a beautifully balanced tone — warm yet articulate, with a responsive dynamic range ideal for expressive performance and recording. The result is a sound that carries the charm and soul of a bygone era, refined for the modern stage.

Finished in hand-applied French polish, the José Ramírez “Antigua” resonates freely, preserving both tonal purity and vintage authenticity. Designed for professionals, teachers, and enthusiasts who value historic sonority with flawless modern craftsmanship, it stands as a bridge between the golden age of classical guitar making and today’s most demanding performance standards.
