More details about the guitar

About the luthier:

Antonio Marín Montero (b. 1933, Granada) is regarded as one of the most influential Spanish guitar makers of the 20th and 21st centuries. Deeply connected to the Granada school, he is also remembered for his collaboration with the French luthier Robert Bouchet, whose ideas he studied and refined. Over the course of his career, Marín built instruments that seamlessly bridged Spanish and French traditions, known for their clarity, projection, and refinement. His work has set standards for both classical and flamenco guitars, inspiring generations of luthiers. As one of the last living masters of Granada’s golden era of guitar making, Antonio Marín Montero’s instruments are now celebrated as modern benchmarks of craftsmanship and artistry.

About the guitar:

This 2024 flamenca blanca, numbered 934, is one of the very last guitars built by Antonio Marín Montero. Crafted with a spruce top and cypress back and sides, it captures the immediacy and brilliance expected of a traditional flamenco instrument, while offering unusual versatility that makes it equally compelling for classical repertoire. The sound is colorful, airy, and rich in overtones, yet remarkably forgiving and round in character, qualities that distinguish it from many other spruce and cypress guitars. Its response is fast and sensitive, but with a malleability that allows the player to shape the tone with ease. The guitar is fitted with mechanized pegheads, which preserve the lightweight headstock and tonal qualities typical of flamenco instruments, while providing the ease of tuning and maintenance associated with modern machine heads. This instrument sets an extraordinarily high standard, serving as both a culmination of Marín’s lifelong artistry and a reference point for the next generation of flamenco makers.

Condition:

The guitar is in mint condition, perfectly preserved as a new instrument. It shows no signs of wear and remains exactly as it left the hands of Antonio Marín Montero.

While this one is sold, these are ready for you

  • Classical Guitar

    The classical guitar, with its soft nylon strings and characteristic timbre, has become a symbol of chamber music, Spanish tradition, and concert repertoire. Its modern form was shaped by Antonio de Torres in the 19th century, setting the standard for the body, fan bracing, and the 65-centimeter scale length that are still used today. Instruments in this category open up a rich palette from the refined Romantic miniatures of Tárrega to the majestic concertos of Rodrigo. Here you will find guitars that preserve historical continuity and at the same time inspire new interpretations.
