The Spanish luthier Francisco
(Paco) Santiago Marin was
born in Granada in 1946. Paco apprenticed with his uncle Antonio Marin
Montero, and spent ten years in his uncle's workshop learning the
art of guitar making before opening his own workshop in 1973. He builds
entirely by hand using traditional methods and designs. In 1997, the
Second International Guitar Competition in Spain was held in his honor.
His guitars have been bought by such great players as Manuel Cano, Camelo
Martinez, David Rose, Konrad Ragossnig, and Eliot Fisk. This handmade concert
classical guitar has
everything that one wants in a concert classical guitar: fine
craftsmanship, rich full-bodied tone, balance, evenness, power in every
register, and great set-up. One of Segovia's ex-students, who regularly
tests the classical guitars that I have, expressed that this pair guitars
was among the finest he has seen to come thru my hands.
