Jose
Marin Plazuelo is the nephew of the famous luthier, Antonio Marin Montero, and has recently been gaining quite a bit of fame on his own. He and his uncle share a small workshop in Granada, Spain where they build some
of the world's finest guitars.
The workmanship, materials, and attention to details of this guitar are all absolutely exquisite.
The top is
German spruce; the back and sides are beautiful Brazilian;
fretboard is ebony, neck Spanish cedar.
This guitar
sings throughout all registers. Sound is full, agressive, rich,
loud and VERY Spanish; great sustain.
Basses are defined but have real clout; trebles are concentrated
and lush. Overall, tone is complex, having tremendous color and
nuance.
Condition is
near mint. Notice, finally, the Sloan arabesque machines: These
are not standard on most of his guitars. Clearly, this guitar was
built for the serious concert performer.
This guitar has the Schertler Dual Source system installed.
This system generates an incredibly natural signal for when amplification is necessary.
The Dual System is the latest Schertler innovation for acoustic guitar amplification.
The only modifications to the guitar are a tiny hole for the under-saddle pickup, and a hole in the rear of the guitar for a 1/4" plug.
This is the perfect guitar for the musician who needs a very fine concert classical guitar with an amplification system.
The Dual combines the two main Schertler technologies, the electrostatic under-saddle transducer (BLUESTiCK) with the electrodynamic contact transducer (DYN-Series). The combination of BLUESTiCK and DYN enables the player to create a wide variety of tones. Either pickup may be selected alone, or a blend of the two may be created. The flexibility of the Dual System is complemented by its simplicity; a double rotary controller is mounted inside the sound hole. The black control adjusts the overall system volume level, while the white control adjusts the blend between the BLUESTiCK and DYN transducers.
