Description
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. Today Antonio Marin Montero is one of the most sought after Granadinian guitar maker.
What a beautiful example of Antonio Marin Montero’s work! The guitar is in perfect condition and the 17 years old woods and varnish have now taken a great colour that emphasises the beauty of the fine spruce top and highly figured Amazonas rosewood. This guitar has everything that can be expected from Antonio’s guitars: the sound it straight and generous with immediate response and great sustain. It is a really open-sounding instrument with a rich and complex tone. One of the great qualities of this guitar is how the sympathetic basses resonances reinforce and complete the trebles and vice versa. The tuning machines are made by Fustero. A hardshell case is included.
