Classical Concert Guitar Gioachino Giussani

Design and Sound Performance: The guitar is built with extremely stable sides and back. This choice prevents the absorption of vibrational energy, discharging it entirely onto the soundboard, the true source of the sound. Given their robustness, the choice of wood for the sides and back is purely aesthetic and does not affect the sound performance.

Acoustic Innovation: We do not use artificial elements (Nomex, Carbon fiber) in the bracing of the soundboard, as our experience shows that solid wood offers superior performance and an unparalleled timbral ductility for expressiveness. Furthermore, the instrument is equipped with a “Side Hole” (sound port on the side), which offers greater dynamic control for the guitarist. Excellent projection, perfect for concert halls.
