SOBRE MIM

Jose Marquez was born in Portugal.

From an early age became interested in the music of the guitar and other string instruments. However, as was necessary of many in Portugal at that time, at age 14 Jose began his career as a carpenter, which he continued for many years with success, gaining much experience and skill in this field.

While living in Alentejo, Portugal, Jose was fortunate to be introduced to a traditional string instrument Luthier, Daniel Luz, and soon found the happiness of being able to learn the art of guitar making. Jose Apprenticed for two years with Daniel Luz and was taught the art of building Portuguese Guitar, Viola Campaniça, Ukelele, classical guitar and several other instruments. All being built by hand.

After this learning time with Mr. Daniel Luz Jose made a decision to increase his knowledge and understanding of various world established and respected Luthiers of past and present, learning their techniques and materials etc.

Today Jose lives in the UK in Bury St Edmunds Suffolk where he has a small workshop building his concert guitars.

Jose's main influences are: Antonio de Torres, Jose Romanillos, Hermann Houser , Daniel Friederich and Paulino Bernabé.

It is usual his cedar top guitars are influencied by the guitars of Daniel Friederichand Paulino Bernabé.
