Lucas Martin was born in 1984 and has lived in Granada since 1986. At a very young age he was attracted to the work of his father, Bernd Martin, and in 2002, he built his first guitar while still in high school. After completing his degree in electronic engineering he joined his father’s workshop in Sacromonte in 2006.
Lucas Martin makes guitars based on his father’s models, which have been developed and perfected over more than 30 years, and he is fortunate to have access to woods that have been carefully selected and aged over the course of decades.
The flamenco guitar has special significance for Lucas – ‘Duende’ is everywhere in Sacromonte and Bernd Martin’s wife is a flamenco dancer and singer – and his instruments are appreciated by professionals as fonts of inspiration.
