Exceptionally rare and stunning José Ramírez 1a ‘Da Camara’ in near mint condition.
The José Ramirez 1A is well renowned for it’s glorious tone, coveted by many players in search of that classic ‘Madrid’ guitar sound. This model is crafted from premium Western red cedar and Indian Rosewood back/sides; a pairing that was pioneered and made famous by José Ramirez III back in the 1960’s. The Ramirez 1A Model has become somewhat synonymous with the highly sought after Madrid tone, yet the ‘Da Camara’ model goes one step further in delivering an impeccable sonic experience.
The distinctive yellow dot on the headstock signifies this is a rare ‘Da Camara’ model, featuring a unique internal wooden shelf designed to eliminate ‘wolf’ notes for a purer sound. Taming the wolf notes delivers a more balanced and even dynamic experience, with no unexpected high/low spots and no sudden breathy/hollow sounding notes. Perfectly even in tone and dynamic right across the entire tonal spectrum.
This guitar comes with a Hiscox Pro II case. Originally purchased for £7,000 by it’s owner a decade ago, this guitar remains in immaculate condition. This rare ‘Da Camara’ 1A is priced below market value for a quick sale.

“I taught Ed Peczek (Director of Classical Guitar Academy) whilst he was a student at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. He is a fine musician and guitarist with a keen musical insight. Ed is a young man of real integrity who will offer unbiased advice on purchasing a quality instrument. I can think of no one better equipped to direct a centre such as Classical Guitar Academy.”

“Just received an Amalio Burguet 2M by mail. Arrived, beautifully packed, in superb condition. After tuning had my first acquaintance with it. Lovely tone which I am sure will improve with playing time. Turned the instrument over in my hands for close inspection. First-rate construction under superb high-gloss finish. Thanks for swift supply & responses via email.”

“Been playing guitar since I was 15 (am now 59), bought my first classical guitar in 1985 and recently decided I needed a better one. After some discussion with Ed at the Classical Guitar Academy about all things guitaristic (Ed is very knowledgeable and always enthusiastic) I tried a few of the guitars Ed had in stock. I knew what I was looking for and Ed understood what I was looking for and I have ended up with a superb Antonio Sanchez guitar. I had also tried a few guitars in a few of the mainstream shops but did not get anything like the help and advice I got from Ed – he understands what it’s all about!”
