This 8-string guitar was made in 1972. The original top was sitca spruce, the back east indian rosewood, the neck honduran mahagony and the fingerboard of ebony.
The neck is laminated with a full-thickness center strip of ebony.
This guitar was stored for many years and developed a crack in the top. The top has been newly replaced with Englemann Spruce and braced with the classic Ramirez bracing design. It has been lightly refinished and has a wonderful tone.
