2000 Ramirez Guitars Centenario - Concert Classical Guitar

This Centenario, the premier instrument made by Ramirez, was hand selected by our own Paul Heumiller. He chose this guitar not just because it is the finest model Ramirez makes, but for it's uniquely amazing voice. It is rich and clear with wonderous sustain and power. Every string is alive and musical. Only the finest materials are employed for the Centenario model, from the Ramirez website: "The Centenario Guitar is built in commemoration of the first centennial of the firm, founded in 1882. It is an instrument with very limited production and only the very finest woods, chosen for their beauty, are used in its construction." This is truly the finest Ramirez that can be obtained and this one is an exceptional example.

Dream Guitars Player's Review:
"The Centenario is the finest Ramirez guitar being made today. They retail new for $26,000 but we are happy to have this one available for far less. This will allow a fortunate player to have an exemplary Ramirez guitar with a rare and special voice that defines this instrument. You simply will not fine a better sounding Ramirez and the old growth Brazilian is straigh grained and the Cedar is perfect. This is as good as it gets..." - Paul Heumiller

"This guitar is so loud that I had to move away from the microphones a bit and also turn down the microphone inputs. It's very strong and clear and perfect for concert playing. The old, mature woods are easily audible in the voice" - Al Petteway

Another Satisfied Dream Guitars Customer:
