A poem about this guitar and Paco Santiago Marín
Paco Santiago Marín, the luthier of renown,
From Granada, he hails, a craftsman renowned.
His father a cabinet maker, imparted his skill,
Teaching his son the art of crafting with skill.
In '63, he joined his uncle's workshop with zeal,
A luthier he became, with his hands on the wheel.
In '72, he set up his own workshop with pride,
And began crafting guitars, with passion inside.
Paco's guitars are highly sought after, it's true,
Their strong projection and tone are striking anew.
With a long list of professionals who play his guitars,
From Ricardo Gallen to Leo Brouwer and beyond, like stars.
Aniversario models are among the finest and best,
Crafted with only the finest materials with zest.
Tonal strength and projection, unparalleled it seems,
And a variety of design possibilities in the extreme.
This spruce and Indian rosewood classical guitar,
Crafted by Paco in '86, a master at his radar.
35 years of playing, its sound fully matured,
A rich and soulful tone, Spanish guitars secured.
The guitar's in excellent condition, free from cracks,
And only scarce playing marks, with no lack.

An ideal instrument for concerts, come what may.

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.Look all products of the collection -
