The Martinez Guitar Company is currently the world’s largest manufacturer of handmade classical guitars. The company led by Managing Director Alex Wang has worked closely with European Designers and Builders since the company was first founded in 1978
Martinez D/F 69 is inspired from the most famous French guitar maker of the last four decades – he followed on in the tradition of French guitars makers started by Robert Bouchet. Friederich guitars are now played all over the world by many of the best professional guitarists.
The design and bracing on this guitar are on the similar lines of Daniel Friederich style with top quality Western Red Cedar (tight grain) and quarter sawn Indian Rosewood back and side.
This can be also used as concert guitar aimed at professionals. The guitar has a modern feature of an elevated fretboard, which gives it a louder sound projection and makes it easier to reach the higher notes on the fingerboard.
The guitar produces great clarity, quick response, overtones and a nice bass response with complexity of the timbre, the richness of the colours and the clarity of the tone make this a wonderful instrument.
The tuners are beautiful Martinez Gold tuning machines with less friction due a bearing located at the end of the roller’s shaft, this provides smooth and accurate tuning with a minimum rotating effort.
The sound will mature and refine over the years with playing.
