AFTER SERVICE-SALES

In Casa Ramírez our customers are always welcome. As regards our post-sales service, there is a sentence that could define us; it was told by a customer and he used the following words: ‘I have bought several Ramírez guitars with the assurance of knowing that, if I have any problem with them, there will always be a Ramírez in the workshop to solve it’. Our commitment with the owner of one of our guitars does not finish when we sell it; it continues for life, and we hope that it lasts for generations to come.

Guarantee: 2 years for any manufacturing defect. IMPORTANT: This guarantee will not cover damage caused by misuse of the instrument, or as a result of the instrument being kept in unsuitable conditions.*
