About the AGP-09

These guitars helped define the sound of modern concert classical guitar in the 1960s and were closely associated with Andrés Segovia. By 1966, the workshop was run by José Ramírez III (1922–1995), the third generation of the famous Madrid family. Under his leadership, Ramírez departed from traditional Torres-inspired guitars and pursued a larger, louder instrument with greater projection for concert halls. This was a significant evolution in classical guitar design. One of the defining characteristics is the 664 mm scale, which Segovia requested. It produces:

• higher string tension

• enormous headroom

• excellent sustain

• powerful bass response

Many modern players with smaller hands find the scale noticeably longer than contemporary classical guitars.

The detailed full-scale drawings cover every major component of the instrument and are intended for builders who already have a basic understanding of acoustic guitar construction.
