One of things to consider years 80/90 a great period is the superior quality of wood, much better of years 60/70 (period more poor of spanish economy) - in the years 80/90 the reseve of woanderful woods of Ramirez (top befor all) was at level incredible and all woods used ageed many years... this was also said to me when i bought my 87 1A by a different source.. never really questioned it... it's a kick ass guitar...Pegs, spruce top loud...old school sound with 'romantic' trebles ..[layed under a bed for 15 years before it was played by previous owner or so i was told..it still is in top condition.....bought it in 2009] am considering moving mine for a Manuel Caceres...will know within a few weeks as to wether i will go ahead with the deal... The Caceres has a deeper and larger body.. the other guitarist i play with has a 66 1A...alot of difference in sound and playability...both fine instruments just prefer the bigger 80's tone... Ramirez Blanca's of the 80's have the 'Double Cypress' sides ...not sure if this contributes in anyway for the extra volume and punch of previous 1A's Guitart could you PM me your asking price? also the stamp initials... i am very unclear to the market value of mine from different sources an 80's Ramirez can sit between $5000-$7500.. thanks in advance Al .... side note is my label is A826 400 + manufactured guitars in a year...

The guitar maybe was make by Ramirez IV (the genius of Ramirez family) - becasue aren't initials - he normally didn't use initials. either does mine when i contacted Ramirez about the instrument, Cristina Ramirez they gave me the initials "JM'' as the maker and confirmed it was part of the 'double side' production which lasted during the 80"s..but went no further or responded to my inquiry who JM was... whether this stands for Jose Ramirez Martinez or somebody else still needs clarification http://www.guitarrasramirez.com/index.php?seccion=sobre_ramirez&subseccion=&subart=&lang=en&familia=JOS%C9%20RAM%CDREZ%20III&id_familia=25 Ramirez will send info about your guitar for sale, based on the number.. Thank you for the PM helped quite a bit to know what it may be worth in the current market... looking forward to the comparison to the Caceres...

well that's another dream shattered just going by Cristina Ramirez email when i asked about my guitar 'it has doble sides' also this part from the site quote:
The new guitar models were built with double sides of cypress in the interior. Later, sycamore was used and later still, half double internal sides were added. These design features remained until 1991. so put two and two together so to speak... the sides do seem somewhat thicker than my friends 66 but you could be right tell me more
