2003 JOSE RAMIREZ GUITAR 1A C86 CWE

by David
(New Jersey)

This Ramirez guitar is one of a kind. Perhaps only one in the world. It is Cutaway C86 CWE but 1a concert model. Not just 1a but made with best German Spruce and beautifully figured Brazilian Rosewood. Unique indeed.

Beautiful Sound
In early 80’s Jose Ramirez III began to experiment with a guitar model with shorter scale length of 650 mm. He then came up with the C86 model in 1986. The result was a sweet and charming guitar with a very easy to play action that made it a delight to play.

Well known classical guitar blogger Pepe Vergara owns a C86 and speaks highly of the model: “The sound is so enchanting that I would not trade for anything else. Liona Boyd thought the same thing and used the guitar for many of her concerts and almost always for her recording…I told Amelia Ramirez recently about the beauty of the sound of this guitar and she agreed with me. This was a so charming guitar that Jose Ramirez IV (after his father death) decided to make a student model after this guitar…”

They only made a limited number of this model. This seems to be the last guitar Jose Ramirez III designed.

C86 Cutaway CWE Model

This model was designed by Ramirez IV with the collaboration of the Jazz Guitarist Marcel Dadi to enable amplified guitar sound and for playing crossover music.
