Heritage of Spanish Guitar Making
The Ramirez guitar workshop has been crafting fine classical guitars since 1882, and this Estudio 140 CUTAWAY model continues that proud tradition. Each instrument captures the essence of authentic Spanish guitar making with careful attention to tonal balance, playability, and construction quality.
Superior Tonewoods and Construction
The Estudio 140 CUTAWAY features a solid cedar top that produces warm, rich tones with excellent projection. The cedar's natural responsiveness makes this guitar particularly expressive, allowing for nuanced dynamics and tonal colors. The Indian rosewood back and sides complement the cedar top beautifully, adding depth and sustain to the guitar's voice.
The comfortable mahogany neck is topped with a smooth ebony fingerboard, providing the perfect surface for clean, precise fingering. The cutaway design offers unrestricted access to the upper frets—ideal for performing advanced repertoire.
Versatile Performance Capabilities
Whether you're a classical student progressing to more advanced repertoire or a performing musician who needs reliable stage presence, the Ramirez Estudio 140 CUTAWAY delivers exceptional performance. The guitar offers balanced volume across all strings, with the clarity and separation needed for complex musical passages.
The cutaway design is particularly valuable for contemporary classical music and crossover styles that require access to the upper register. Despite this modern feature, the guitar retains the authentic Spanish sound that has made Ramirez instruments coveted by players worldwide.
Professional Setup by XGuitars
At XGuitars, every Ramirez Estudio 140 CUTAWAY undergoes a comprehensive professional setup. Owner Geoff Ferdón personally inspects and sets up each instrument, ensuring optimal action, intonation, and playability. This meticulous attention to detail means you'll receive an instrument that performs to its full potential right from the start.
IMPORTANT: This guitar features a 12-hole bridge. This design puts the strings at a higher angle relative to the saddle, allowing a greater transfer of energy into the top of the guitar at the saddle. This gives this guitar extra volume and resonance. It is very important that the strings are tied properly to prevent slipping. For instructions on how to tie the strings, please see the video below:
