The established range of Santos Martinez classical and electro classical guitars offers a wide choice of instruments to suit players of all ages and abilities.

Anyone interested in the sweet sound of a nylon string classical guitar, and indeed acquiring one of same, should most definitely have the Santos Martinez name on their shopping list. This popular entry level guitar marque has recently undergone something of a metamorphosis and expansion. Alongside their attractively-priced entry level classical guitars – Santos Martinez offers easily-manageable half and three-quarter size entry level guitars designed for the smaller hand spans of younger, novice or entry level students – the range also now features the stylish detail and high quality construction and craftsmanship of the more senior electro-acoustic cutaway body guitars.
With a richly toned range of nylon string classical and electro classical guitars (these fitted with specially developed Shadow pickup and preamp systems), Santos Martinez’ finely crafted instruments will be appreciated by guitarists of all ages and abilities.

Additionally, all Santos Martinez guitars are fitted with premier quality, USA-manufactured D’Aquisto strings.
