luthier Martin guitars from Holland

Any members familiar with the guitars of a luthier in Holland called Martin.
I have seen a couple of his guitars advertised on La Sonanta and am wondering if anyone has had any ''hands on'' experience of the guitars he builds. They look quite beautifully made ....sound clips I've heard ,( whilst considering the awesome players used to demo the guitars ) have been very encouraging. Would be grateful for any help.
Thanking you in advance.

I've seen the guitars at LaSonanta but can't really comment. I think they should have chosen a different name purely from a marketing perspective however. Type in Martin guitar anywhere and you're going to be hit with 100+ years of steel string instruments. Good luck to them in Google searches.

I did a little research for you.

(Being Dutch it is a little easyer for me:-))

The guys name is Martin Biesmans.
Here is his website with very little info:

Here another one.

Good luck!
