Jose Ramirez 125 Anos anniversary guitar

Have you ever seen or read anything on the Ramirez 125 Anos?

I have been reading a lot on it and it sounds like it would be a nice guitar. I cannot afford to spend the money that you spent on your guitar but I am looking for the best I can get for around $2500.

Unfortunately, I live in an area where actually being able to see and play the guitar before purchase is just that, a thought. So I will have to rely on other peoples reviews and hopefully your help to pick one out.

So if you can advise me on the 125 Anos I would be truly grateful.

Thanks Trevor,

Hi Mike,

I actually was going to buy a Ramirez before I bought my Paulino Bernabe but they didn't have that model at the time. But, I'm so pleased with the Bernabe, I think it was "made" for me.

I would like a Ramirez in the future though. I've heard the Ramirez 125 Anos is a lovely "limited edition" guitar with Indian rosewood and red cedar I think, although I've never actually played one.

They are around about $2500 - $3000 depending on where you buy it but as with any Ramirez, worth every penny in my humble opinion.

Maybe someone else has had experience with this model and could perhaps post a reply for Mike.

Regards,
Trevor M.

I as well just picked up this guitar, I have the Cedar top version, although I compared it to the Spruce, witch is awesome too, I just preferred the Cedar for my style. I must have played 10 guitars in the shop, and this was just the best sounding one, was so clear, well balance, great playability. I also had three to choose from, so got the pick of the litter!! All 3 were great, very consistent, but I got the one with the best top. The things I would look for, which is why it's best to play before you buy, glue inside guitar around bracing, build up around tuners, easily removed, play on third string up the neck for sustain, even at 12th fret, this were you find buzzing, the floor model had some of this. The more I play the guitar, the better I like it, one, and done!

Ramirez 125 I bought 2 year now. I owned Cordoba 45r, I played a lot of top of the line Ramirez Guitars, but Ramirez 125 Anos has a sound that really put me into spell bound. No matter what strings you put into it. (though I prefer La Bella) The tone quality is perfectly balance and the playability far better than cordoba.
For that price...WOW get one, own it and the older it gets the brighter the sound.

The guitar has a "growl" and typical spanish sound.
It has amazing basses and full loud and clear trebles, and if you ask me I would rate it as a concert guitar, its just a magnificent instrument, and you can actually compare it with higher priced guitars up to 4000$/5000$, and you can't really say that those are much better. Although maybe its not a
real downside, but the guitar doesn't really work with super hard tension strings, but you don't really need them because it has a loud sound, even with lower tension string, and actually when you play with lower tension strings it has a more beautiful sound.

Hi

I got my Ramirez just over a year ago, and am afraid to say that I just can't seem to get on with it.

The tone is quite exceptionally warm and full, and everything I was looking for. The bass is wonderfully deep and resonant, but the trebles have little sustain in comparison and lack clarity as you move up the fret board.

It also seems a rather "difficult" instrument to play, and it's consistantly hard work to get the most out of it, even after a professional set up. Perhaps I just picked up a dud.

Having since played a great many classical guitars I'd definitely check out a Martin classical. It may seem an odd choice, but they are not as sought after as the steel strung models, meaning you can buy vintage for around the same price as the ramirez. They are very responsive, with an even, highly focused tone across the entire spectrum.

Hope you find what you're looking for!

Cheers

Dan

I bought a used Ramirez 125 from the 12th Fret for 1500 and i dont regret it at all. Beautiful guitar with a full loud sound. I suggest you look for one or go to the 12th Fret, they have a lot of nice classical guitars.

Mike, the 12th Fret in Toronto has the Ramirez 125 Anos in the price range you are after. I recently bought mine from them - the German Spruce topped version. It is amazing, go down there and play one, you will not be disappointed...
