Right from the very early days, when I opened my workshop, I began making steel string guitars.
Harp Guitars & Dreadnoughts
Some of my guitars are based on famous old local and Italian instruments, even those
with the lower strings laying off the fingerboard, known today as Harp guitars, others are more
modern and inspired by American guitars.
My corpus of work includes Dreadnought guitars, examples of which I use to
guide me in making my own version.
Steel String Guitars
I use as models for my instruments guitars dating from the 30’s and 40’s,
a truly golden era in steel string guitar making.
My interest and research into groundbreaking techniques in guitar making
and, dare I say it, new sound worlds, have led to my coming into contact with other innovative
makers. So I combine traditional models with a Kasha guitar design made nowadays by a few of guitar makers in the world.
I varnish my guitars with a nitro lacquer
,hand polished but the soundboard can upon request be French polished with a shellac to give the instrument a deeper resonance and best sounding.
Each element of my instruments is individually made, from the thick nessing of the soundboard
to the shape of the the soundboards and back's bars.
The final set up of the nut, neck and bridge is achieved by meticulously working the fingerboard and employing a double action truss rod.
All my guitars are capable of being fitted with amplification systems at a later stage.
