I don't think that the guitar he appeared with in Bilbao was a Ramirez, though - it had a headstock inlay which doesn't seem to be a feature of any current Ramirez model. The guitar he appeared with on the Alan Titchmarsh show is yet another one - it doesn't have the strong headstock point of a Ramirez, but it doesn't have the inlay of the Bilbao guitar either (neither does it seem to have the headstock shape of Vicente Carrillo's guitars). It could have just been a cheap one they hired as a prop - it looks a bit like a Yamaha headstock, actually. Back to top

All the other Ramirez guitars he used to have were sold before the recording could have happenened. Back to top
