[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]
We are pleased to announce the arrival of a wonderful new guitar by Antonio Marin Montero, who at 89 years old this year, 2022, is still an active guitar maker and has been consistently producing models with an ever-increasing degree of perfection.
This is a shop-original model, 640mm scale specification, which was produced in response to Aura's request, with design, body shape, materials used, label, etc., with a design and quality more similar to a Bouchet guitar. Even though it is a short scale model, it has his unparalleled characteristics of great power, dynamism of volume, bright and lustrous sound, and delicate expression, and is highly recommended for those who are looking for a high-end model in 640mm scale.
While the Robert Bouchet has a deep and powerful sound, the Marin has a natural expression of lightness and darkness and a healthy strength. It is also highly functional as a concert guitar, and has enough power for stage performances where modern guitars are preferred.
The 640mm scale allows for medium string tension, which makes it easy to play and provides extremely high playability. The fine shellac finish and exquisite craftsmanship give the instrument a noble appearance that is truly a work of art.
