I had a friend of a professor at the Superior Conservatory of Music, he went to Granada to order a guitar from Antonio Marin Montero, but he wanted something special and simple, no ornaments, no fillets, nothing ... he wanted a simple instrument but to the Professional time, with a good sound to play classical. He paid for the guitar 6000 euros, Antonio Marin warned him that not placing a rosette could cause a fracture in the top ....... even so, he did not change the model. He brought me the guitar to see it and try it, it was made of rosewood, it had no decorations but it sounded very good, but after six months the guitar cracked, two cracks on the top, but not on the rosette, alarmed he went again to Granada and ....... what do you think happened? He told him that it was not his fault and that he did not give him a new guitar !!! with six months !!!!! 6000 euros ...... he said that he repaired the cracks and that he could not do more ......... he was very disappointed with the guitar and with this man ....... Finally he kept the guitar and bought another from another manufacturer here in Córdoba, different, spray-painted ....... sounding less but at 1700 euros ....... I explained many things to him and personally I liked his idea, if you look at all guitars they look alike, some rosettes in one way others in another ... but that guitar had something, seriousness, sobriety, nudity and it made a difference ... ..not like any. I built that one and I liked it so much that I did not sell it, then I did one and another and another and another and I still have two others running here, they are not seen, they do not look like any ...... they are different, some of them like others no ........
