J.A. Pantoja Martín was born in Marón de la Frontera in 1932. He
learned his art in the workshops of guitar makers in Sevilla. He has been building guitars
since 1957, and has had his own shop since 1967. He works alone, using traditional methods
and designs, building his guitars completely by hand. He uses using only the finest woods
for his guitars, woods that have been allowed to dry for many years. The results of his
impeccable craftsmanship are superb classical and flamenco guitars. His classical guitars
have a very refined, lovely tone. His flamenco guitars are vibrant and have been bought by
such great guitarists as Paco de Lucia, Sabicas, Los Panchos and the Mariachis de Santa
Rosa (Mexico). |
