G.K.MARVELL&SPARK GUITAR
It has been nearly 90 years since George K. Marvell made the first MARVELL guitar in 1921. As a customized handmade guitar, G.K.MARVELL has many supporters with its superior sound and quality in the 1920s. It included Blues singer Artie Townshen, The Carter Family of Maybelle Carter and the "Father of Country Music" Jimmie Rodgers. (Jimmie has used MARVELL before he used MARTIN guitar in 1928. He recorded "The Soldier's Sweetheart", "Away Out On The Mountain" and other songs in the old days). MARVELL’s factory production series was branded SPARK. Unfortunately, MARVELL failed to overcome the crisis and forced to close down during the 1930 Great Depression in the United States. George died a few years later due to over worked and lung infection. G.K.MARVELL and SPARK have been gradually forgotten. Until 2007, with George's grandson, George junior’s (same name as his grandfather) effort, G.K.MARVELL guitar was brought back to the world after nearly 80 years absence.

The Story of Brand
MARVELL’s history can be traced back to 1906. Keith Marvell went back to his Arkansas home after working in a violin workshop in New York for 7 years. He set up his own violin studio and an instrument shops named SEAMAN. He sold his handmade violin, banjo, mandolin and provided maintenance and modification services to customers.

In 1915, Keith's son George returned from the military service and joined the studio to learn making violin. Keith wished his son could inherit his skills and became a good violin maker. However, he soon discovered that George did not make any effort to learn the violin making skills, but obsessed with the guitar making all day. The father and son quarreled all the time because of this. Christmas time in 1921, the first G.K.MARVELL guitar was born in Keith's studio. George gave this guitar to his old friend Artie Townshend, a guitarist, as a Christmas present. The beautiful and magnetic sound had overwhelmed Artie. Artie voluntarily became the spokesmen and advocates for the MARVELL guitar.

MARVELL guitar soon earned its reputation in the local thanks to Artie Townshend’s advertising plus excellent sound and hand-tailored services. In 1922, Maybele Carter had also become MARVELL’s client after Artie introduced this guitar to him while they performed in The Carter Family. MARVELL’s price was quite high back then as the local area was mainly agricultural and low living standard. However, MARVELL guitar soon became unable to meet the market demand with its 20 units per month production.

Summer in 1924, Keith died in an accident during travel. George took over his father's entire work since then. A few months later, George decided to give up the violin, banjo and mandolin to concentrate on making guitars.He changed the name of his shop to SEAMAN GUITAR SHOP.

In 1925, George made improvement on structure and appearance on the guitar. He invented the Magen steel string guitar and began to produce them for a number of instrument shops. At the end of the same year, a guitarist named Jimmie Rodgers found George and ordered two guitars. He recorded his classic "The Soldier's Sweetheart", "Away out on the Mountain" with the new guitar. Unfortunately, Jimmie became MARTIN guitar’s sponsor and spokesman later due to business competition.

In 1928, in order to meet the increasing orders, SEAMAN GUITAR SHOP maintained its customized services. At the same time George established a factory in order to expand the scale of production. He named this series as SPARK. Ever since the SPARK was launched, it was quickly welcomed by customers due to its excellent quality and low prices. He soon received a lot of orders from Mississippi, Texas and even California, Michigan and New York. Unfortunately, a nightmare came quietly when George was planning new development for his business with full of confidence. In 1929, The U.S. stock market crashed and followed by the Great Depression swept the whole country, causing panic and chaos in the society. Tens of thousands of enterprises went to bankruptcy. George’s newly completed expansion and yet to be stable plant was not spared. The financial situation was deteriorating rapidly. In June 1930, MARVELL factory officially went to bankruptcy and shut down. Three months later, SEAMAN GUITAR SHOP also closed.

In 1934, SEAMAN GUITAR SHOP re-opened for business and resumed to take small number of customized guitar orders. George carried on the whole production by himself. In autumn 1935, George died due to over workload and lung infection. G.K.MARVELL guitar had also put an end to its short history of 14 years.

With George passed away, MARVELL guitar has gradually been forgotten. Until 2007, MARVELL guitar again attracted people’s attention when George's grandson, George junior performed with the guitar left by his grandfather. G.K.MARVELL guitar has reborn ever since with George Junior’s great effort.
