Born in Granada in 1946, the Spanish luthier Francisco (Paco) Santiago Marin was but twelve, when he began working as cabinet maker. Later, he apprenticed as a guitar maker with his uncle Antonio Marin Montero, because he realized that if one wishes to become a great maker, it is best to study with a great master. Antonio Marin has trained or influenced most of the guitar makers in Granada. Paco spent ten years in his uncle's workshop learning the art of handmade guitar construction before opening his own workshop in 1973. He builds entirely by hand using traditional methods and designs. He makes more classical than flamenco guitars simply because there is a greater demand for his classicals. Like his uncle, he uses the Marin-Bouchet system of bracing in his classical guitars. In 1997, the Second International Guitar Competition in Spain was held in his honor. Paco's stature among luthiers is such that Luis F. Leal Pinar devotes an entire chapter in "Guitarreros de Andalucia" (2004) to him. His guitars have been bought by such great players as Manuel Cano, Camelo Martinez, David Rose, Konrad Ragossnig, and Eliot Fisk. |
