Description

Paco Santiago Marin 1983 Classical Guitar – A Unique Masterpiece

This exceptional instrument is truly a standout in every regard, and undoubtedly one of the most beautiful creations by Paco Santiago Marin. Custom-made for the late Ulrich Müller, a close friend of Paco and a distinguished professor and guitar maker in Osnabrück, this guitar is a one-of-a-kind treasure.

Its uniqueness is highlighted by the stunning Rosewood used in its construction, featuring a striking pattern that captivates the eye, particularly on the back and sides. The headstock is a remarkable feature, adorned with Paco Santiago’s signature in genuine gold, engraved by a jeweler friend. Only two guitars in the world boast this exquisite detail, with the other residing with a Swiss colleague of Müller’s.

Paco Santiago Marin, the nephew of renowned luthier Antonio Marín Montero, was born into a family of guitar makers in 1945. From a young age, he immersed himself in the art of guitar making, honing his skills under the guidance of his father and uncle. His exceptional technical expertise and musical sensitivity have led him to create instruments celebrated for their great projection, balance, and tonal richness. Esteemed musicians such as Eliot Fisk, Leo Brouwer, Ricardo Gallén, and Marco Tamayo have all played and recorded with his guitars, further solidifying their reputation in the classical music world.

This Paco Santiago Marin 1983 classical guitar has a truly remarkable sound. It delivers clear, melodically resonant highs that sing with an effortless purity, paired with deep, powerful basses that are both precise and rich in character. The tonal balance is impeccable, with every note flowing seamlessly into the next. The sound possesses a creamy, robust quality, coupled with an exceptional responsiveness that feels quick, lively, and full of energy. This bouncy responsiveness is a hallmark of the finest southern Spanish instruments and provides a connection to the rich heritage of Andalusian guitar-making.

With a fine spruce top and exquisite rosewood back and sides, it features a scale length of 664 mm and a nut width of 52 mm. The action at the 12th fret is comfortably low at 3.4 mm E and 2.8 mm e. 

This Paco Santiago Marin 1983 classical guitar shows only slight signs of play wear, with no damage or repairs whatsoever. It comes with a good guitar case.

Experience the artistry and heritage of Paco Santiago Marin with this remarkable classical guitar – a true collector’s gem and a wonderful addition for any serious musician.
