[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 is one of the most respected master craftsmen in Granada, Spain today and has many fans in Japan. We have just received a very beautiful 2019 Bouchet model, his flagship model.
It is a well-known episode that he improved and evolved his style when he met Robert Bouchet of France in the late 1970s. His guitars are basically divided into pre-Bouchet and post-Bouchet, with the pre-Bouchet guitars being recognized as orthodox Granada style and the post-Bouchet guitars being recognized as an ideal fusion of Bouchet-like construction and acoustics with Granada style. This work is an attempt to follow Bouchet's own style, and is called Modelo B. It is slightly different from the Bouchet replica Modelo E. It has a wonderful soft, deep, and profound sound, and is synonymous with the Granada sound. The response is extremely agile and bright, and the sound is uniquely Andalusian, with a somewhat modern resonance.
The tuning machine is equipped with Rogers, which is rare for ModeloB, and it has 20 frets. The back is a beautiful 3-piece rosewood from Central and South America.
