José Marin Plazuelo Classical Guitar Spruce/Dalbergia Spruceana
Here we have a gem in our collection. A classical concert guitar from the renowned guitar maker José Marin Plazuelo. For many decades he belongs to the top ranking of Spanish guitar builders working alongside his mentor and uncle Antonio Marin Montero in their workshop in Granada. Many concert guitarist globally favor and play his guitars.
This classical guitar is a rare and special one, in sound, volume and appearance. Great balance, huge projection and easy playability. One of the best in our current stock, a solid and strong feel with the ‘simple’ refinement of the Granada school. The guitar vibrates on your chest when played. Along with high quality selected timbers such as the very old and silky spruce top with stunning looking back and sides made out of beautiful drawn Dalbergia Spruceana (no longer on the Cites list, thus free from paperwork)
Haven’t seen them build any more nowadays with these quality woods
The balance between the full basses and singing trebles are excellent. The guitar is fitted with very high-quality Rodgers tuners that do the guitar justice.
Highly recommend for the serious guitarist that truly wants a solid and secure feeling guitar that elevates their expression of playing.
The guitar is build in 2001 but in more than excellent condition (even the French polish is completely intact)
On the bottom side is a transparent ‘golpeador’ placed, this can be removed upon request.
Comes with a high quality ‘bomb proof’ custom case by Calton.
