José Ramírez Elite Handcrafted Guitar

The Elite Classical Guitar is a handcrafted, first-class instrument conceived to satisfy those interested in our Centenario commemorative guitar but seeking a more affordable price. As a result, the Elite uses a very high-quality Madagascar rosewood and cypress rosewood for the doubled sides, and a solid spruce or solid cedar top. This instrument's wood is beautiful and provides a powerful bass sound.

The Elite is based on the construction of our Tradicional model, and slots into our handmade guitar lineup below the Centenario guitar. While its ornamentation is simpler than the Centenario, the design is quite similar and the sound is just as impressive.

The Elite is handmade-to-order, and modifications or customizations can be determined when it is ordered. Options for 6-, 8-, or 10-strings, as well as a variety of scale lengths are among the customizations available for the Elite Classical Guitar. A handmade Manzano case is included in the price.
