Ramirez Estudio 140 Spruce Top Classical Guitar
The Ramirez Estudio 140 Spruce Top Classical Guitar continues the distinguished legacy of the Ramirez name, known worldwide for exceptional classical guitar craftsmanship. The Estudio 140 is the latest version of the very popular Ramirez Estudio 3 model. The 140 Spruce exemplifies the perfect balance between traditional Spanish guitar-making techniques and tonewoods selected for their superior acoustic properties.
Premium Tonewoods
The Estudio 140 features a solid spruce top that delivers exceptional clarity, projection, and articulation. Spruce responds beautifully to various playing techniques, offering crisp note definition and excellent dynamic range. Paired with Indian rosewood back and sides, this guitar produces a bright, focused sound with impressive sustain and harmonic complexity.
Classic Ramirez Construction
Built in the authentic Spanish tradition, the Estudio 140 showcases the meticulous attention to detail that has defined Ramirez guitars for generations. The protective polyurethane finish enhances the natural beauty of the wood while allowing the soundboard to vibrate freely. The traditional fan bracing pattern optimizes the tonal characteristics of the spruce top, resulting in a responsive instrument with excellent projection and balance across all registers.
Exceptional Playability
The traditional Spanish neck profile and carefully crafted fingerboard ensure comfortable playing for extended practice sessions or performances. The neck dimensions provide both comfort and stability, making this instrument accessible to advancing students while meeting the demands of experienced performers.
