This wonderful Marin Blanca was acquired as a 'place holder' by a very good client and friend of mine who ordered a custom featured Marin Blanca, and wanted this one to enjoy until his custom featured guitar arrived. Well, he got his new baby, and so this great Blanca is now free again and was maintained as intended, in absolute mint new condition. A strong Blanca, by the undisputed 'father' of Granada builders. Marin's guitars have a trait shared by only the best Blanca's in that they are punchy and lively, and yet still musical. They can bark, or they can sing. This guitar is already beginning to open up beautifully and will only continue evolve, as good Marin's do, over the years. Very fast action, and responsive to the players attack, right there when you ask her to be. I love the character of this guitar, and with new Marin's commanding around $10,950 now, it is also priced attractively. A great Blanca with crisp basses, lively trebles and lot's of 'kick'...
