[Profile]
Born in Granada, Spain in 1933. He started out as a furniture craftsman and later entered the workshop of local maker Eduardo Ferrer in 1959 to learn how to make guitars. In 1961 he started his career by opening a collaborative workshop with Manuel Bellido, who he had studied with. After that, he became independent and increased his reputation as a maker. Then, in 1977, a Japanese inventor met Marin with the great French maker Robert Bouchet (1898-1986), and Marin's style changed drastically. This French master is immediately aware of Marin's extraordinary talent, and then goes to Granada himself and invites Marin to France to give personal advice on guitar making. Originally he made guitars with the sound of the Andalusian region, but after meeting Boucher, he pursued a higher level of artistry as an instrument. His guitar, which has reached an extremely high level in both sound and appearance, is currently given the highest evaluation as a true masterpiece representing Granada.
Also, in love with his personality, young talents from all over the world are now gathering in Granada, and an international competition bearing his name is being held. Even now, when he is about 90 years old, he continues to work with his nephew Jose Marin and others. He is one of the best maestro and oldest in the Spanish guitar making world.

[Description]
Antonio Marin Montero's acclaimed flamenco model No. 560 of 2002 is now in stock. He has achieved a tone that combines Andalusian and French elements in his classical models (Modelo B and E) represented by the Bouchet model, but in flamenco he has gone back to the Granada tradition to create a traditional flamenco sound.
The entire surface is finished in shellac. There are no cracks or other major repairs, but it has been well played and has scratches, dings, and string skipping marks throughout. The sound transmission is clear and sharp, typical of Marin, with a powerful volume and a rigid sound characteristic of flamenco. This is a quality piece from a brand that stands out from the Granada School in this genre.
