New Plazuelo Bouchet Indian/Spruce
Jose Marin Plazuelo has shared a shop space with his uncle, Antonio Marin Montero, since he began building guitars in his youth. Between the two of them, they have produced a number of astoundingly responsive and resonant classicals, and this Bouchet model with Indian Rosewood back and sides and a Spruce top is a fine example of Plazuelo’s mastery of the craft, even compared to his uncle’s own masterworks.The voice is warm and sweet, with a delicate responsiveness that plays beautifully in adagio but doesn’t top out easily in crescendo. Instead, the Bouchet projects fiercely, with great sustain. Set up like silk, the neck is effortless to fret, and the lightweight build is exceedingly comfortable to play.With an easy muscularity and playful expressiveness, this is a powerful example of traditional classical guitar construction at its finest.

Jose Marin Plazuelo was born in Granada, Spain on the 13th of June 1960. He is the nephew of the Granada maker, Antonio Marin Montero, one of the most respected guitar makers in the world. Marin Plazuelo joined his uncle’s workshop in 1974 when he was 14 years old. Here under his uncle’s watchful eye he learned the traditional art of guitar making, developing into a brilliant guitar maker. Using traditional techniques he learned from his uncle, Plazuelo has been making world class concert guitars under his own label for many years now. Plazuelo’s wonderful classical guitars are reminiscent of his famous uncle’s guitars. His much sought after flamenco guitars are similar to the small body guitars of Francisco Simplicio (1874 – 1932), the famous Catalonian guitar maker.
