Antonio Marin Montero - 2012 No. 1169 ON HOLD
Overview
Overview
Antonio Marín Montero was born in Granada in 1933. In 1957, he joined master Pérez’s workshop, and two years later, in 1959, his father advised him to visit Eduardo Ferrer for whom he worked until opening his own workshop. A milestone in Antonio Marin Montero’s career was his meeting with the French luthier Robert Bouchet in the 1970s. The two artists became friends and built several guitars together. The contrast between Marin Montero’s Spanish building system and Robert Bouchet’s very particular bracing construction was a great source of inspiration for Antonio Marin Montero, and he continued to build a model with the “Robert Bouchet” bracing throughout his career. Today, Antonio Marin Montero is one of the most sought-after Spanish guitar makers.
This stunning 2012 guitar, bearing the number 1196, is a captivating instrument with a traditional 5-fan bracing system. This design supports its solid cedar top, complemented by the back and sides crafted from exquisite Indian rosewood. The combination results in a highly responsive guitar that emits a radiant tone, full of compelling overtones and sustain. Known for Montero's rich and warm tone, the guitar's aesthetic is also notable. Though this pre-loved guitar exhibits normal signs of wear, it remains in excellent condition. It is also worth noting that there are not many Antonio Marin Montero guitar with a cedar soundboard, which make this instrument even more unique and collectible.

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 -
