Jose Ramirez Guitars

Founded in 1882 in Madrid, Spain, José Ramírez Guitars is one of the world’s most prestigious names in classical and flamenco guitar making. Now led by the fifth generation of the Ramírez family, the workshop has become a symbol of Spanish craftsmanship, blending tradition with innovation.

Known especially for their concert-level classical guitars, Ramírez also produces a full range of instruments including flamenco guitars, student and studio models, and master-built professional instruments. Each guitar is created with care, using carefully selected tonewoods and techniques refined over more than 140 years.

José Ramírez’s mission is rooted in excellence—to craft instruments that inspire musicians of all levels with powerful tone, playability, and beauty. Every guitar reflects the family’s heritage, yet embraces modern needs, including sustainable materials and contemporary design improvements.

From student models built with Ramírez precision, to master-crafted guitars played by legends like Andrés Segovia, Christopher Parkening, and Narciso Yepes, the Ramírez name stands for warm, expressive sound and enduring quality. Their instruments are beloved across genres, from traditional flamenco to classical concert halls worldwide.
