Decades of music played on this guitar have imbued it with that special "open/woody/vintage" something that only a older guitar seems to have. I love the 'feel' of this guitar, not only in my hands, but also how the music is felt as much as it is heard. If you love vintage Flamenco guitars, and you love Ramirez, this is the real deal. A really great 'Sabicas'-like tone to it is the best description I can think of. It is in remarkable shape for a guitar from the 60’s too. There are two minor cracks in the back, some slight "milky ness" in the glue under the golpeadore, but otherwise in very good condition. The former owner stated that Yuris Yeltsin told him he believed the finish is original. Pegs work great too! Great foot stomping, old style, Flamenco Puro presence and a very fun guitar.
