Crafted for players who demand more from their instrument—more range, more tone, more expression—the José Marques 8-String Classical Acoustic Guitar represents the pinnacle of handcrafted lutherie. Available now at Haggerty’s Music, this extraordinary guitar is built by Portuguese luthier José Marques, known for his precise craftsmanship and tonal artistry. Designed with a doubletop red cedar soundboard and rich Padouk back and sides, it delivers a complex, resonant voice ideal for modern classical and extended-range repertoire.

From the African Mahogany neck to the smooth Ebony fingerboard and bindings, every detail of this guitar is curated for tonal richness and lasting durability. The 650mm scale accommodates the wider 8-string layout comfortably, while the French polish finish allows the instrument to resonate fully with elegance and depth. With Barnett machine heads and premium materials throughout, this guitar is not only a performer’s tool but also a collector’s piece. It comes complete with a custom-fit hardshell case for secure storage and transport.
