Description
The Ramirez Guitarra Del Tiempo Cedar Classical Guitar is the newest guitar from José Ramírez is yet another stunning example of Spanish craftsmanship at its finest. The Guitarra del Tiempo was created to commemorate one hundred forty years of peerless Ramírez design and construction. This guitar features a newly-designed enhanced top-brace system that delivers articulate noting and full-bodied tone. The Guitarra del Tiempo's ample volume and reactive dynamics will satisfy the most demanding guitarist.
This is a continuation of the Ramírez Anniversary models (and direct followup to the popular 130 Años), however unlike previous models, the Guitarra Del Tiempo will be a permanent addition to the comprehensive Ramírez line of classical and flamenco instruments (with rotating changes to the beautifully distinctive soundhole rosette).
The warm, yet bold sound of the Guitarra del Tiempo is sure to exceed the player's expectations. You can feel its power in your belly; you can relish the lingering sustain of its harmonics across all six strings.

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:

I recently purchased a classical guitar from XGuitars.com, and I couldn’t be more pleased with both the instrument and the overall service. The guitar itself is absolutely stunning—rich tone, smooth playability, and a perfect fit for my playing style. It’s clear that great care was taken in selecting and preparing the guitar for shipment.
Geoff, the seller, was exceptional throughout the entire process. From the moment I placed my order to the guitar’s arrival, everything was smooth and hassle-free. His communication was timely and transparent, and he truly went above and beyond to ensure I was satisfied with my purchase. You can tell he’s deeply passionate about what he does and really cares about his customers.
Overall, I highly recommend both XGuitars and Geoff as a seller. If you’re in the market for a quality instrument and excellent service, look no further!
