The Ramirez guitar Scott Tennant used to record The Segovia Sessions<\/em> (the album\u2019s tentative title) has had several owners since it left Andre\u0301s Segovia\u2019s possession. \u00a0The Maestro acquired it new in 1969. While we can\u2019t confirm that he ever recorded with it, we have documentation in the hand of Jose\u0301 Ramirez III stating that Segovia \u201chabitually\u201d played this instrument in his concerts from 1969 to 1980. After that, it went back to the Ramirez shop, where the neck was refinished. The instrument later had three other owners between 1980 and 1994 before it was purchased by Russell Cleveland for his collection of historic guitars. It remained there until November 2015, when GSI acquired it with the purchase of the entire Cleveland collection of 63 guitars.<\/p>\n
