The José Ramírez 1A “Tradicional” Classical Guitar stands as the cornerstone of Spanish concert-level craftsmanship. Handcrafted in Spain by the legendary José Ramírez workshop, this model represents the culmination of over a century of refinement in tone, design, and playability.

Originally introduced by José Ramírez III in 1960 and famously favored by Andrés Segovia, the Tradicional model defined the modern concert guitar. Built with naturally aged cedar, Indian rosewood, and double cypress sides, each instrument uses tonewoods seasoned for more than 20 years, ensuring unmatched resonance, balance, and stability.

Its tonal character is both clear and powerful, with deep warmth, brilliant projection, and exceptional note separation across all registers. The Tradicional responds effortlessly to nuanced dynamics, offering professionals a broad palette of tonal colors ideal for concert performance, recording, and expressive classical interpretation. Over time, its voice continues to mature — developing the rich overtones and responsiveness that define the finest Ramírez instruments.

Designed for serious concert performers, teachers, and collectors, the 1A Tradicional remains the enduring symbol of Spanish lutherie — a direct continuation of the model that brought Ramírez international acclaim and helped establish the global standard for nylon-string classical guitars.
