Jose Ramirez III 1970 blanca with pegs

I sell my Jose Ramirez III at ebay.
You're welcome to bid: Ramirez ebay auction
This is the text of the auction translated to english:

The guitar was built 1970, that is in the best years of the legendary guitar maker. The edge of the label is light blue, what means that its a 1a. The clase is not shown clearly in the label. I bought the guitar from a guitar shop in the U.S. It comes with a non original case, and the purchase papers.

Condition of the guitar
The tapa has a lot of scratches and blows from Golpe-play in the lacquer.
Among the white Golpeador slightly shine through some scratches.
On the sides it has some dents, where the guitar lays on your thigh.
Neck is absolutely straight.
The wooden pegs run very well.

Sound & Action
I've never had a such a easy-to-play guitar in my hands. Absolutely 1st class. Low string action without buzzing (except if required, of course). The guitar is an incredible lightweight. Typical Ramirez Sound. Very nice loud bass. The guitar is extremely loud and responds very fast. Sabicas played mainly Ramirez and at this time. His recordings reflect the sound of this guitar.

i believe that the longer an acoustic (and even a electric) has been played the more richness of sound it will develop, because of the permanent vibrations and resonance to the woods. violins for examples: the famous sophie mutter use violins from 1703 and 1710. these instruments are ultra expensive and beats every new violin

as any instrument a guitar has to be well cared for. following problems could develop:
the frets could be damaged because of long time heavy use. They can be replaced
the table could be warped because of the pressure of the strings.
the neck could be warped also because of the pressure of the strings.
there could be cracks in the body because of humidity or heavy use.

as long as non of these issues happen you can use the guitar.
