Just down the page there is this thread, which somehow got hijacked into a political discussion----

Gruhn Guitars in Nashville has a 1963 example, spruce top, machines, I.M. (Ignacio Manzano Rozas) stamp.
You didn't mention a price range but this guitar has been there for a while and probably on consignment so there may be some room for negotiation.
Their sales people don't work on commission so they tend to be pretty accurate and honest in describing their stock. Give 'em a call. They'll give you an "in hand" description and answer your questions.
For the record, I have no connection to Gruhn or this guitar.

www.gruhn.com
Click "Inventory" and then "Classical guitars".

Hi
I have a 1962 Ramirez blanca, initials AM that was built for Mario Escudero. It was purchased from him by one of his students. It's completely mint and absolutely gorgeous. If you have an interest please PM me or email at aarongreenguitars@gmail.com

Its not on my new guitar dealing site www.vintageclassicalguitars.net but will be soon along with a killer Velazquez, Vicente Arias, de la Chica and a 1901 Jose Ramirez with pegs that is killer. I also have a Barbero on the way

Happy New Year everybody!

Hi Michael,

I have a 69 Ramirez blanca that I would offer for sale.
It has two old repaired cracks on the back and I had it changed from pegs to machines a few years ago.
It is a stunning guitar. Light weight and full of energy.
The set up is exceptional.
If you are interested, drop me a PM for more detail.

Regards
Jim

I played the one at Gruhn last week. They had it priced around $4000, which was lower than what is on their site. Good condition, sounded good, but played a little stiff. A good guitar, and priced right, or so I thought. I'm not sure if they have changed the price again, as they are moving to a new location, and Christmas is over.

Actually the price they have it at seemed rather low for a guitar of that vintage. Of course the sound and how it plays is what really ought to determine what the price is. A great deal if it's anywhere near as good as the one I have.

I would sell her for £2,200 clear.
She's a great guitar and this is a knock down price.
There are two old and well repaired cracks on the back but apart from that her condition is very good. Action and playability are first class. She originally had pegs but I had machines fitted a few years ago.
You can hear her on this YouTube link.
