Italian luthier Gioachino Giussani has been working in the classical world for decades, and in that time he has honed his craft to a razor’s edge. This is the first of his work that we’ve seen, and we are soundly impressed by the clarity and power of this 2001 Concert Classical. Dramatically figured Indian Rosewood back and sides with (of course!) an Italian Spruce top featuring a seven fan-braced pattern and doubled back & sides—projection to spare, and trebles that are precise and round, full. Our repair team recently dressed the frets for dinner, so they’re shining like new silver dollars. 650mm scale, 54mm nut, and 60mm saddle spacing.

It’s easy to see why Giussani guitars are so revered. The purity of each note is remarkable. And that holds true along the entirety of the fingerboard. The craftsmanship is excellent and it is as musical as it is precise. | Scale Length | 25.6 in |
