Hi there,
I was born in Spain, Barcelona, and my dad bought me a Taurus 1979 with number 52. My guitar teacher was also professor at the Conservatorium and he told my dad which guitar to buy. At the time I was 13 years of age and the guitar is EXCELLENT. As far as I know it is indeed also sold as a Ramirez. In Spain Taurus is a boutique guitar bought by the real spaniards who what a GOOD guitar both for student use as for recitals.
the sound is great. I advice not to use high tension strings since traditionally spanish music uses medium to low tension.
