Ramirez Sencillo Classical Guitar
The Ramirez Sencillo represents the legacy of one of Spain's most respected guitar-making families. Built in Madrid, this classical guitar combines traditional construction methods with carefully selected tonewoods to deliver a genuine Spanish sound at an accessible price point.
Ramirez guitars have been trusted by professional players and students alike for generations. The Sencillo model brings the workshop's expertise to intermediate and advancing players seeking an instrument with authentic character and reliable performance.
Construction and Tonewoods
The Sencillo features a solid cedar top that produces warm, immediate tone with excellent projection. Cedar's naturally resonant qualities allow the guitar to open up quickly, making it an ideal choice for players who want a responsive instrument from the first day.
Indian rosewood back and sides complement the cedar top with depth and sustain. The combination creates a balanced voice across all registers, from clear trebles to full, rounded bass notes. A traditional Spanish heel neck joint ensures optimal energy transfer from strings to body.
Playability and Comfort
The neck profile offers comfortable hand positioning for both traditional and modern technique. A standard 52mm nut width provides sufficient string spacing for clean execution of complex passages, while the medium action height balances ease of play with tonal clarity.
The rosewood fingerboard is smooth and responsive under the fingers. Quality tuning machines maintain stable pitch through practice sessions and temperature changes, reducing the need for constant adjustment.
Musical Character
The Sencillo delivers a characteristically Spanish voice – warm and singing in the upper register with substantial body in the lower strings. The cedar top responds well to varied right-hand techniques, from delicate pianissimo passages to forte rasgueados.
This tonal versatility makes the guitar suitable for a wide repertoire, from Renaissance and Baroque transcriptions to Romantic showpieces and contemporary works. The balanced response across all six strings supports both melodic playing and full chord voicings.
