Ramirez 125 Anos Classical Guitar

The Better Half & I are visiting her framily in Cleveland, Ohio. mOn the drive there we stopped at Bernunzio's Uptown Music in Rochester, NY. They have a Ramirez 125 Anos spruce top guitar and a Ramirez 130 Anos cedar top guitar. I triede out the 125 and was impressed with the playability, the tone, the projection. A NICE instrument. The girl in the store asked me if I would like to try out the 130 for comparison. Well, I wanted to but my time was limited and theu had a used Marin guitar that I was more interested in. So I gave that some time. Then we had to get back on the road. That was yesterday morningt. I am now sitting in Ohio wishing I had treid out the 130. Damn. I am kicking myself. All I can think about is how much I liked the a25 anos and now I will not be able to rest until I get my hands on the 130. As for the Marin that cost $9,000.00 it didn't grab me. The neck felt a bit peculiar to me. I should also add that I was a bit timid in realling letting myself go and playing these guitars with unabashed passion. My fault. The Ramirez jumped out at me immediately. The Marin did not. However, I think if I gave the Marin enough time I could learn how to make it express what I would like. Anyhow, I just might be buying one of those Ramirez on the way home.
