Andres Martin #407

by Sue
(Renton, WA USA)

I would like to find the value of my father's classical guitar that was made in Spain. I would say it is in mint condition and has a hard shell case.

The label inside has:

Constructor Andres Martin
divino pastor, 22

#407 (in ink) 1963 (in ink)

very small near bottom right
J. Romero

ANSWER

Hi, Sue--

This is a tough one--these guitars are not listed in the Blue Book, nor could I find much about them on the internet.

I did find one 1959 Andres Martin--Brazilian Rosewood--for sale. It is said to have been appraised at $3500.00 in 1995.

Here is the link to the page about that guitar:

1959 Andres Martin

Maybe that site would have some ideas for you.

The J. Romero part is puzzling, as J. Romero is known as a maker of fine banjos.

Sorry I could not be of more help.
