copy Manuel Ramirez
Year: 2022
Soundboard: Italian fir
Bottom and Sides: Indian Rosewood
Tuning fork:650mm
Paintwork: Shellac
The design of this guitar intends reproducing in a modern key the copy of an original made in Madrid in 1910 by "Manuel Ramirez", one of the reference authors of the great Spanish historical school.
The proportions, the internal construction and every aesthetic and construction detail are the exact reproduction of the original.
The aim of this project is to offer a guitar that expresses the best functional and acoustic qualities of the original without sharing the defects of the time.

Soundboard:Male Italian spruce(bearclaw)
Bottom and Sides:Brazilian Rosewood(Dalbergia Nigra)
Tuning fork length:650mm
Nut Width:51mm
Paintwork:Shellac
This guitar is the result of years of research both for the acoustic performance and for the exceptional aesthetic characteristics. The soundboard is prepared in the same process used for stringed instrument soundboards, to make the wood appear aged in appearance but simultaneously with a sparkling brilliance. This is a method I also use for my vintage instrument replicas.
At the end of this procedure, the wood surface is clean and free of chemical residues that could cause damage.

2019
Year: 2019
Soundboard: Italian fir
Bottom and Sides: Imbuia-Brazilian Walnut
Tuning fork:650mm
Paintwork: Shellac
This guitar is the result of years of research in both the acoustic and aesthetic fields.
It is prepared according to a personal project developed in 1992.
The rosette is decorated with a mosaic and mother-of-pearl inserts that we also find in the finishing details of the "head" and in the lower junction of the bands. Il fillet steak of the bottom draws a continuity line and resolves at the top I believe an ogive inspired by the symbology of the "Vesica piscis".

8 Strings - 2008
Year: 2008
Soundboard: Italian fir
Bottom and Sides: Balkan Maple
Tuning fork:650mm
Paintwork: Shellac
The eight-string guitar allows for a wider tonal range or non-standard tunings (such as major thirds tuning), or both.
8-string guitars were used in the 19th century by Luigi Legnani and Giulio Regondi but this type of guitar is very popular in Latin America where many pieces of popular derivation are played with this type of guitar.
Famous guitarists and composers use 8-string guitars for greater octave range, open tunings, and a richer tonal range.

11 Strings - 1992
Year: 1992
Soundboard: Italian fir
Bottom and Sides: Indian Rosewood(Dalbergia Broadleaf)
Tuning fork:65cm.
Paintwork: Polyurethane
11-string guitar, in G tuning.
It allows you to play ancient music without having to make transcriptions by changing key and fingering. The first high string is in G (a third up) rather than in E.
From the sharpest:
G-D-A-F-C-G-F-Eb-D-C-B
While with the 10 strings the tuning would be:
MI-SI-SOL-RE-LA-MI-RE-DO-SI-LA
If desired, the 11-string could also be used as a 10-string...
