1976 Manuel Velazquez Spruce Jacaranda Ramirez

Comments:

First, the guitar is magnificent in her play and her musicality.  Literally, nothing else could be said to convince further.  Deep basses to high lilting trebles with enviable balance.  She is an incredibly musical guitar, seriously lyrical.

Second, I say Very Good condition at 80%+.  This is me being picayune.  It is probably much better.  There are no cracks.  Slight dings, finish issues in few spots, all very typical, all expected given her almost 50 years of life.  Photos will clearly display anything you need to see.

What is unusual about this guitar is that it is French Polished in the old shellac technique.  Manuel almost always used a particular varnish for his instruments.  Another unusual characteristic is that this was built in the old Ramirez style, 1930’s Madrid style.  I know of only this one built, but of course, there may be a few others.

The guitar is opening up, playing beautifully.  She has an ancient lyrical voice, a touch quiet for now, but makes music like few other guitars.  This is a studio recording dream guitar.

The guitar is strung with Savage Classical Guitar Strings – Normal Tension
