The House of Ramirez has for many years (since 1882!) constructed the finest quality classical instruments played by many of the world's top recitalists including the legendary Andres Segovia, Narciso Yepes, Julian Bream, Xuefei Yang, Alexandre Lagoya, Christopher Parkening, Kazuhito Yamashita, Liona Boyd, Laurindo Almeida, Alirio Diaz, Jose Luis Gonzales, Antonio Lauro, Oscar Ghiglia......

The De Camara model has a 'shelf' of Rosewood set about halfway down the sides which is parallel to the top and back.

This lovely second-hand example is in good condition, with a few playing marks on the top and body.

If you are looking for a concert instrument with a really big, colourful sound, this could be the one.
It is warm, very powerful with a solid rich singing tone and superb volume.

A real concert player's guitar.

I was nervous about dealing overseas via the Internet, however I am entirely pleased with the service and quality of goods from the Guitar Centre. Most especially I'm impressed with their obvious high integrity. I recommend them without reservation.
