Celebrated Spanish Guitar Heritage
Since 1882, the Ramirez workshop has set standards for classical guitar construction, and this Estudio 140 CUTAWAY model honors that legacy. Each guitar reflects generations of expertise, combining time-tested building techniques with select materials to create instruments with authentic Spanish character and reliable performance capabilities.
Premium Tonewoods and Construction
The solid spruce top of the Estudio 140 CUTAWAY produces bright, articulate tones with excellent projection and clarity. Spruce's natural characteristics make this guitar particularly responsive to dynamic playing, with crisp note definition that cuts through in ensemble settings. The Indian rosewood back and sides provide rich harmonic support and enhance sustain.
The guitar features a comfortable mahogany neck with an ebony fingerboard that offers smooth, precise playability. The cutaway design provides unhindered access to the upper register—perfect for advanced repertoire that explores the guitar's full range.
Versatile Musical Expression
Whether performing traditional classical pieces or exploring contemporary compositions, the Ramirez Estudio 140 CUTAWAY Spruce Top delivers exceptional tonal versatility. The spruce top responds beautifully to various playing techniques, from delicate fingerstyle passages to more forceful strumming.
The cutaway design serves both practical and aesthetic purposes, allowing comfortable upper position playing while maintaining the elegant profile that Ramirez guitars are known for. Despite this modern adaptation, the instrument preserves the authentic voice and character that classical guitarists expect from the Ramirez name.
Professional Setup by XGuitars
At XGuitars, every Ramirez Estudio 140 CUTAWAY undergoes a meticulous professional setup. Owner Geoff Ferdón personally inspects and sets up each instrument, carefully adjusting action, intonation, and playability to optimal specifications. This personalized attention ensures that your guitar performs at its highest potential from the moment it arrives.
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:
