Jean's work is deeply influenced by two master luthiers, Walter Verreydt and Gerhard Oldiges, whose invaluable insights have significantly shaped his approach. Known for his meticulous attention to detail, Jean creates guitars that artfully combine tonal beauty, playability, and expressive potential. In addition to his guitar-making, Jean organizes the Guitar Builder’s Expo at the Antwerpen Gitaar Festival, a platform that showcases the finest in lutherie.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the guitar\u003c\/strong\u003e   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify\"\u003eJean Marquet’s \u003cem\u003eModèle Contemporain\u003c\/em\u003e is a modern evolution of the classical guitar, crafted to bring the qualities of his \u003cem\u003eModèle Traditionnel\u003c\/em\u003e to players who prefer the clarity, immediacy, and directness of a contemporary instrument.

To enhance projection and dynamic range, the Indian rosewood back and sides are carefully braced, improving also resonance and structural stability. Through Jean’s expert craftsmanship, the combination results in an instrument with a quick, intuitive response that feels almost immediate to the player’s touch. Treble notes float with a clear, singing quality, while the mid-range provides a rich, colorful tonal palette that invites exploration of soundscapes. The sustain is long and even, allowing notes to resonate beautifully, and the instrument maintains exceptional separation and compromise across the registers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLuthier:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJean Marquet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction year:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2025\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction type:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTraditional\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTop:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpruce\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBack and sides:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIndian rosewood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrench polish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAir body frequency:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eF # \/ G\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScale:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e640 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNut:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e52 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1460 grams\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTuners:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKris Barnett\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStrings:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKnobloch - EDC 34.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCondition:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNew\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCase:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHiscox Pro II\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n","brand":"Siccas Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52464303505741,"sku":"1489-1-1-2-1-1-2-1-2-11-4-26-23-29-1-206","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/4011\/7325\/files\/jean-marquet-2024-74.jpg?v=1758686358"},{"product_id":"jean-marquet-2026-no-40","title":"Jean Marquet - 2026 No. 40 Modèle Contemporain","description":"\u003ch3\u003eAbout the luthier\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eJean Marquet is a Belgian luthier whose work has quickly attracted attention for its refinement, tonal control, and consistently high level of craftsmanship. He trained at the CMB in Puurs, where he was awarded the first prize, the Gouden Bootschaaf, in 2019. His development was shaped in particular by the influence of Walter Verreydt and Gerhard Oldiges, two makers whose guidance helped form his understanding of structure, sound, and precision in guitar making.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eAlongside his work at the bench, Jean Marquet also contributes to the wider guitar making community through the Guitar Builder’s Expo at the Antwerpen Gitaar Festival. His instruments are distinguished by careful workmanship and a clear musical intention. Rather than pursuing effect for its own sake, he builds guitars that aim for coherence, responsiveness, and expressive range, with close attention to how the instrument supports the player in practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the guitar\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThis Modèle Contemporain No. 40 from 2026 is a traditionally built concert guitar with a spruce top and Indian rosewood back and sides. It belongs to Jean Marquet’s more direct and immediate line of instruments, yet it retains the elegance and control that define his work more broadly. The sound is notably responsive, with a quick release of tone and a sense of ease that allows the player to produce a full sound without resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eA particularly strong quality of this guitar is the combination of responsiveness and sustain. Notes speak readily and with little effort, yet they do not fall away quickly. Instead, the tone remains present and well supported, giving the instrument both clarity in articulation and continuity in phrasing. This contributes greatly to the feeling of freedom under the hands, since the guitar reacts promptly while still carrying the line with assurance.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eIts tonal character is balanced, even, and elegant, with very good separation and a broad range of available color. The voice remains organized across the register and offers enough contrast in shading to keep the sound lively without losing coherence. Taken together, these qualities make this Modèle Contemporain a guitar of considerable ease and refinement, one that combines directness with tonal richness in a highly convincing way.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Siccas Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53691900035405,"sku":"S18917","price":9990.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/4011\/7325\/files\/jean-marquet-2026-no40-17.jpg?v=1775832944"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.siccasguitars.com\/collections\/jean-marquet.oembed","provider":"Siccas Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
