The Ramírez Model GH was issued as a special model to commemorate the Ramírez guitar that George Harrison owned, and which he used during the recording of the classic Beatles film " a hard days night" and featured on the Beatles recordings “Til There Was You” and “And I Love Her”.
Amalia Ramírez carefully reproduced the look of this guitar: the rosette, the authentic soundhole label, the peghead shape with the Hauser style tuners, fretboard and unique bridge feet and pearloid covered tie bock. And since the original was spruce, this commemorative GH model had to be German Spruce top as well.
It features the latest in Amalia’s expertise and design features: fan braced, select German Spruce top on Solid AAA Rosewood back and sides. Finished in standard Ramírez E series varnish this guitar is in the same quality bracket as the top E series model 4 NE.
Overall balance is very good; full bass and full volume with trebles that sound sweet and round.
The Spruce top is a AAA grade, very clear and straight grained top. Lovely silk or quarter-flower indicates that the top was perfectly quartersawn …typical of tops normally found on more expensive guitars. The Indian Rosewood back and sides are straight grained with lovely grain and colour. The purfling joinery at the heel cap and end block is clean and well executed and the fretboard ebony is clear and jet black.
The guitar comes with a very decent, hard shell case
