A beautifully sounding Jose Ramirez handmade in Spain in 2017
Designed with a unique template, decorations, tone, quality of sound and materials that are synonymous with the Ramirez brand. The 1NE features a solid red cedar top, Indian rosewood back and sides, and an ebony fingerboard.
The NE line is the new and improved "E" line, which was designed by Jose Ramirez III in 1986. Amalia Ramirez created the NE line in 2008 by updating the pattern on the "E" line's rosettes, purflings and tie blocks. When it comes to the basic construction of these guitars, Amalia stayed true to her father's original designs. These guitars are slightly lighter in weight, but the NE guitars still sing with the same beautiful, rich tones that are characteristic of Jose Ramirez guitars.
Condition
The guitar is in excellent condition. There are very few light imperfections, noticeable only when looking closely. There is some cloudiness on the back and sides. It's a quite common issue with polyurethane finish. Typically happens in the first few weeks after production so it's highly unlikely to aggravate. The bright white strips that you might see on some pictures are just reflections.
The neck has a slight forward bow. There is no visible fretwear. Very comfortable and easy to play. Set up for low action, great for flamenco and fast passages.
We keep our guitars in a room with 45% relative humidity.
