2007 Alberico, Fabrizio Grand Auditorium Roxanna - Grand Auditorium Acoustic Guitar
This is an extremely beautiful Grand Auditorium crafted from a stunning set of Ziricote by luthier Fabrizio Alberico. The Ziricote has dramatic figure and gives this guitar a bright, clear voice. The German top is master grade and has a rich golden patina. The rosette is a gorgeous ribbon design and along with the figure Ziricote headplate sets this guitar apart from the others on the wall, it's simply eye catching. This is a great large body guitar for the player seeking a big, but bright voice with great bass response that always remains clear.

Player Reviews:
"Fab is a wonderful luthier, player and a great guy. He's a friend of the shop and I can tell you he loves guitars, making them, paying them, everything about them. It shows in his work as his instruments, like this GA, are always perfectly playable and sing out proudly. This guitar, named Roxanna, is stunning and has a wonderful voice." - Paul Heumiller
"Just a beautiful fingerstyle guitar from one of the better young builders out there. The tone is clear and balanced and the extra touches make this guitar special. Get this one while you can still afford it. It won't be long before Alberico guitars will be in the upper echelon of hand made acoustics." - Al Petteway
