This incredible featherweight Jose Ramirez flamenco guitar from 1959 features a Cypress back and sides and Spruce top for that classic, dry Flamenco tone that so many players crave. It was built by Felix Manzanero. However, the real treat about this guitar is its playability. The action is extremely fast, smooth, and comfortable and this is arguably the best playing flamenco guitar we have in stock! The condition is great for it's age and it is super responsive and powerful.
