Overview

Jean Marquet is a highly regarded guitar maker based in Belgium who has established himself as a prominent figure in guitar craftsmanship. He is known for his passion for creating exquisite instruments and his unwavering commitment to the art of guitar making. He received his professional training at the highly respected CMB (Center for Musical Instrument Building) in Puurs, Belgium, which has a rich history of producing some of the world’s most skilled and talented luthiers. With his training and expertise, Jean Marquet has created guitars that are aesthetically pleasing and produce exceptional sound quality. Today, his guitars are sought after by musicians and concert guitarists worldwide.

This exquisite "Belgian beauty" is a traditionally built classical guitar that stands out not only for its aesthetic charm but also for its remarkable sound quality. Despite its comparatively lightweight construction, it provides immediate and tactile feedback to the player, resonating through its entire body. The guitar boasts excellent sound volume, characterized by impressive bass and crystal-clear trebles, complemented by an abundance of overtones that enrich its full-bodied and intriguing sound character. Its playability is exceptional, offering a rewarding experience with a variety of timbres and inspiring musical moments. The spruce soundboard features a unique design with a transversal bar covering the fan braces, reminiscent of Friederich’s style, and the sides are reinforced with five struts on each side, resulting in a stiffer body and a more linear projection. The guitar's great sustain and the long, singing voice of each note make it an ideal choice for both technical players and younger musicians seeking an instrument that supports and amplifies their performance.

Jean Marquet  2024 Classical Guitar Review

While this guitar is sold, these are ready for you

  • Classical Guitars

    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.
