[Profile]
Marin Nejime was born in 1986 and is the son of Kojiro Nejime (Alberto Nejime Ono). Influenced by his father, he developed an interest in music and crafts from an early age, and after several visits to Spain, in September 2012, he stayed in Granada for an extended period of time to study under his father's mentor, Antonio Marin Montero. He builds his instruments based on traditional Spanish construction methods, which he incorporates with fresh and unique acoustic characteristics. In particular, the precision and beautiful finish of the paintwork is as excellent as that of his father and mentor, and every model shows a beautiful appearance. He has received high acclaim abroad and in 2017 won a prize in the production competition of the International Guitar Festival in Granada; in 2020 his interview and instruments were featured in Orfeo Magazine No. 15, published by the French publication Camino Verde.

Orfeo Magazine No.15 features an interview with Kaoru Ono(Masahiro Tanabe, Alberto Nejime Ohno, Marin Nejime, Yuichi Shimizu, Daisuke Kuriyama)

[Description]
Marin Nejime's original model 2023 is now in stock. With his own unique ideas, he has succeeded in creating an unparalleled modern sound based on the Granada School and incorporating the distinctive acoustics of his father, Kojiro Nejime.
The lush sound that he has created by adding different elements to the high, penetrating Granada sound is a major characteristic common to his guitar work to date. However, in fact, different innovations and attempts are practiced in each piece. He has changed the shape and thickness of the bars on the treble side and the bass side, and also created different thicknesses of the sideboards, creating a different acoustic balance by varying the efficiency of vibration.
This guitar has a high sound density, sufficient sustain, and a good spread of sound. The contrast between the dignified acoustics of single notes, the expansiveness of chords and arpeggios, and the change in expression is wonderful. The shellac finish is delicate, and the playability is superb.
