Though brief, this early training laid the technical foundation for his first guitar. While later completing a degree in musicology, he continued to build instruments independently. In 2008, during a long-term stay abroad, he decided to devote himself fully to lutherie. Over the next four years, he focused on historical instruments — lutes, Baroque and Romantic guitars — alongside selected classical models.\r\n\r\nSince 2012, Hugues has worked from his workshop in Merry La Vallée, Burgundy, where he now specializes in classical guitars. His work reflects both his experience with historical instruments and his methodical approach to construction. Each guitar is the result of precise, consistent craftsmanship, shaped by a deep familiarity with the traditions of the instrument.\r\n\r\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the guitar\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\r\nThis classical guitar, completed in 2025, is built using traditional methods and reflects Hugues Boivin’s disciplined, detail-oriented approach. The structure follows a classic seven-fan bracing design with a transverse bar placed behind the bridge, offering both stability and tonal clarity. The spruce top is paired with Indian rosewood back and sides, a time-tested combination that delivers articulate trebles and a well-defined bass response.\r\n\r\nThe rosette is selected with care, harmonizing visually with the color and texture of the top. The French polish finish enhances the natural grain and provides an acoustically responsive surface. The neck features a 51.5 mm nut width and a 650 mm scale, ensuring traditional playability and consistent string spacing.\r\n\r\nTonally, the instrument is balanced and focused. The trebles are clear and controlled, while the basses support with definition rather than excess resonance. The response is direct, rewarding precise articulation, and suited to repertoire that benefits from clarity and dynamic control. The Perona tuners operate with precision and complement the understated elegance of the overall design.","brand":"Siccas Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52470086926669,"sku":"KS17776","price":6990.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/4011\/7325\/files\/hugues-boivin-2025-15.jpg?v=1763025837"},{"product_id":"giovanni-tacchi-2023-la-decima-no-29","title":"Giovanni Tacchi - 2023 - La Decima No. 29","description":"\u003ch2\u003eAbout the luthier\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\r\nGiovanni Tacchi is the son of the renowned Florentine luthier Andrea Tacchi. Having grown up in a workshop steeped in the traditions of classical guitar making, Giovanni inherited not only the techniques but also the artistic sensibility of his father. Andrea Tacchi collaborated closely with Robert Bouchet and Daniel Friederich in the 1980s and continued to deepen his craft through exchanges with Ignacio Fleta, José Luis Romanillos, and Robert Ruck. Giovanni has refined this legacy through his own vision and precision, producing instruments of great tonal complexity and craftsmanship.\r\n\r\nGiovanni Tacchi’s guitars display a clear identity: rich in color, dynamic in expression, and beautifully constructed. The attention to detail is striking, from the elegant rosettes to the refined joinery and wood selection. Though still early in his independent career, Giovanni has already established himself among the most promising young luthiers in Europe. His instruments reflect not only his heritage but also a distinct and confident voice in contemporary guitar making.\r\n\r\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the guitar\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\r\nThis 2023 guitar by Giovanni Tacchi is a superb example of Torres-inspired construction, combining historical sensitivity with refined lutherie. The spruce soundboard is finely tuned for a tone that is both intimate and expansive, while the flamed maple back and sides contribute to the instrument’s elegant visual presence and bright, lyrical voice.\r\n\r\nWhatsApp Image 2025 09 30 at 10.27.03 AM 10 e1759936567607 WhatsApp Image 2025 09 30 at 10.27.03 AM 4 Tonally, this guitar offers extraordinary nuance and depth. The sound is rich, with strong fundamentals and remarkable clarity across the registers. The separation between the voices is precise, and the balance between singing trebles and resonant basses creates a sonority that is both modern and reminiscent of early Spanish instruments. A key tonal contributor is the bridge, crafted from highly figured maple burl, not the typical straight-grained maple such as flamed or birdseye, but a rare burl cut that produces swirling, cloud-like figures, both visually stunning and acoustically responsive.\r\n\r\nThe guitar features thoughtful design elements for today’s concert guitarist: a 12-hole tie block for enhanced string angle, a 650 mm scale, and a comfortable neck profile. The maple strip set into the headstock veneer is a subtle and tasteful visual accent, echoing the overall craftsmanship.\r\n\r\nFinished entirely in traditional French polish, the guitar weighs just 1300 grams, exceptionally light for a modern concert instrument. This finish not only enhances the visual warmth of the tonewoods but also preserves their acoustic liveliness. The result is a guitar of remarkable sensitivity, perfect for discerning players in search of a lyrical and expressive voice.\r\n\r\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\r\nThis guitar is in mint condition with no signs of wear.

He furthered his studies at the Oxford College of Art and Technology before meeting the late David Rubio in Duns Tew, Oxfordshire. Rubio’s workshop was an important hub visited by leading guitarists such as Julian Bream and John Williams, and Fischer served there as chief instrument maker and workshop manager. During this time, his guitars were produced under the Rubio label with the mark “P.F,” many of which remain in circulation today. In 1975 Fischer established his own studio, and in 1983 he received a Winston Churchill Travelling Fellowship to carry out research in the forests of Brazil. Beyond his building, Fischer has acted as an advisor to the Southern Arts Association and the Crafts Council of Great Britain. His instruments, frequently noted for their elegance and tonal qualities, are featured in major publications such as Richard Chapman’s The Complete Guitarist (1993) and John Morrish’s The Classical Guitar: A Complete History (1997). With decades of work dedicated to the evolution of the modern concert guitar, Fischer stands among the most respected British luthiers of his generation.\r\n\r\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the guitar\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\r\nThis guitar, built in 1982, reflects Fischer’s mature craftsmanship during a period when he had already established himself as one of Britain’s foremost makers. Constructed in the traditional style, it features a spruce top paired with Brazilian rosewood back and sides, the latter dating from before CITES restrictions. The instrument is finished with French polish and fitted with Rodgers tuning machines, weighing 1655 grams.\r\n\r\nTonally, the guitar presents an intimate and refined voice. The sound is soft and silky, with a long sustain that allows both bass and treble voices to ring clearly. One of its most striking qualities is the evenness of the first string, an attribute rarely found even in more recent instruments. The timbre has a piano-like clarity, balanced with enough brilliance to project convincingly in a concert hall. The guitar responds sensitively to right-hand dynamics, making it both comfortable to play and highly expressive. The overall tonal character is pleasant and lyrical rather than forceful, ideally suited for a wide range of repertoire.\r\n\r\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\r\nThe guitar is in excellent condition for its age.

During this time, his love for classical guitar deepened, and he became fascinated by the craftsmanship of master guitar makers, exploring their work through collectors, books, concerts, and recordings.

Lightweight bracing beneath the bridge ensures immediate responsiveness and a broad dynamic range, allowing for expressive articulation. Built using traditional methods, the Indian rosewood back and sides offer tonal warmth and playing comfort.

In the autumn of 2003, he devoted himself entirely to making classical guitars. Alongside guitar making, Maguolo expanded his lutherie skills by attending a bow service and repair course at the Civica Scuola di Liuteria di Milano with Maestro Pietro Cavalazzi, and a violin-making course at the Scuola di Liuteria di Pieve di Cento in Bologna under Maestro Marcello Bellei. Since 2004, his waiting list has grown steadily, and his guitars, played in concerts worldwide, have earned recognition for their tonal qualities and projection.\r\n\r\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the guitar\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\r\nThe “Ducale” model is Marco Maguolo’s concert guitar, conceived as both the culmination of his ongoing “La Concerto” project and a tribute to his native Venice and to Italy. The rosette design is inspired by the colonnades of the city’s Ducal Palace, while the purfling incorporates the colours of the Italian flag. The philosophy behind the model is to create a strong yet lightweight structure for the neck, sides, and back, supporting a light and highly responsive soundboard. The bracing design is original, producing an instrument that is reactive and versatile like a modern guitar, yet offering a warm, woody, and changeable tone.\r\n\r\nThis particular instrument, No. 279, is a 10-string variant of the Ducale. Built in 2022 with a spruce top and Indian rosewood back and sides, it is fitted with custom Alessi tuners and finished in French polish. The extended range is handled with exceptional playability and even response across all strings. Its tonal palette is wide and colourful, capable of producing both warm and sharp timbres. Like other Ducale guitars, it has deep, resonant basses with a harp-like quality, balanced mids, and rich trebles full of harmonics and expression.\r\n\r\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\r\nThis guitar is in excellent condition, showing only minimal playing marks.","brand":"Siccas Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52471104766285,"sku":"KS17721","price":7990.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/4011\/7325\/files\/marco-maguolo-2022-43.jpg?v=1763030583"},{"product_id":"paulino-bernabe-2020-imperial","title":"Paulino Bernabe - 2020 - Imperial","description":"\u003ch2\u003eAbout the luthier\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\r\nPaulino Bernabé Sr. (* July 2, 1932 in Madrid, † May 10, 2007 in Madrid) ranks among the most distinguished Spanish luthiers of the twentieth century.

He subsequently enrolled in various courses focused on the construction of plucked and bowed string instruments, continuing to refine his skills over the years through advanced training.\r\n\r\nIn 2007, Giacomo restored a farmhouse in Tuscany where he now lives and works.

Sipe is a luthier based in Portland, Oregon, whose work emerges from a lifelong dual passion for music and craft. After studying classical guitar at the University of Portland—where he worked with teachers including Jeffrey Ashton and Scott Kritzer, he performed and taught professionally before turning to instrument making. His early years were shaped by hands-on repair experience, including six formative years assisting master luthier Kerry Char. Through extensive work in restoration, refretting, and custom builds, Sipe developed an exceptional sensitivity to instrument behaviour across centuries and styles. He is largely self-taught, but credits a vibrant local luthier community with deepening his skills and aesthetic judgment. For him, lutherie is not only a convergence of disciplines, but “a meaningful, superbly functional, and aesthetically pleasing” practice in dialogue with music itself.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the guitar\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\r\nGuitar No. 117, completed in 2025, represents a mature stage in Sipe’s search for a voice that is, in his own words, “both modern and lyrical with good sustain in the trebles throughout.” The top is made from Engelmann spruce, braced with a 7-fan system augmented by floating ties: small lateral connections between the fan struts that help regulate motion across the soundboard. The back and sides are made of Madagascar rosewood, contributing a rich, dark tonal base, while the slightly elevated ebony fingerboard (with 20th fret) enhances comfort and access.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\r\nOne of the standout features of this guitar is its intricate “New Waves” rosette.

Its wide dynamic range and balanced response make it expressive at soft and strong levels alike, always maintaining a round, warm tone with a healthy amount of low-end support and without developing harshness in the upper register. The cedar top brings a warm, punchy voice with a slightly more immediate response and a characteristic, subtly nasal color that adds presence and distinctiveness to its phrasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eComfort is at the heart of its design.

This model is the result of an intensive partnership with the renowned luthier Stephen Eden.

This lighter, more efficient structure enables the guitar to react quickly to even the most delicate touch, enhancing responsiveness, dynamic range, and overall playability. Despite its modern architecture, the instrument preserves a refined Spanish character that brings warmth, clarity, and balance to the voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eA low air body resonance of E has been achieved, which results in a strong sense of presence and openness throughout the registers. It gives the trebles a dark and slightly mysterious quality, allowing them to bloom with depth while remaining forgiving during less ideal right hand conditions. The basses benefit from this resonance as well, providing a full and supportive foundation without overshadowing the upper voices, so phrasing develops naturally across the entire instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThis model reflects Stephen Eden’s meticulous craftsmanship and the shared commitment to excellence that defines the Craftsman Series.

After meeting during their studies they completed their apprenticeships and began building instruments professionally together. In the following years they broadened their knowledge with various teachers in both guitar and violin making and attended specialised seminars on traditional varnishes, acoustic behaviour of woods and bracing patterns, and restoration methods for plucked and bowed instruments. From 2016 onward they combined construction and restoration with teaching and later deepened their understanding of historical keyboard instruments, building an Italian polygonal spinet in collaboration with noted specialists.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\r\nIn 2021 they moved to Cremona where they analysed and restored Italian guitars of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and wrote documentation based on this work. Since 2023 they have also spent time in the workshop of Suji Kim in Parma, learning the construction methods of the Scrollavezza school of violin making. Recently they won the third prize at the Antonio Marín Montero competition in Granada. They now work in Santa Cecilia, a village in the Apennines of Piacenza, where all their guitars are built entirely by hand using traditional techniques and exclusively organic materials.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the guitar\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\r\nThe 2025 Apollinea model is conceived as a pursuit of harmonious and rational aesthetics, a concept drawn from Greek art. The soundboard is Italian spruce from Val di Fiemme, chosen for its low resin content, lightness and transverse flexibility combined with longitudinal strength. The top is built with two transverse bars, one above and one below the soundhole, seven fan braces, and an additional transverse bar at bridge level. Heights, thicknesses and spacing are intentionally asymmetrical to allow the strings to express their full character. The rosette is inspired by the work of Santos Hernández. The back and sides are Indian rosewood and the cedar neck contains a concealed hardwood reinforcement. The ebony fingerboard and headplate give a sober solidity. The bridge is light and crafted from rosewood with coloured wood inlays and bone. Rubner El Sonido tuners complete the instrument. The finish is French polish.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\r\nThe sound has an intimate and inviting quality. The tone is bright and smiling yet never sharp and the basses are remarkably deep for an instrument of this weight. A gentle veil of overtones surrounds the main voice and gives each note a luminous shape. The air body resonance lies around F and can be felt as a subtle undercurrent that breathes warmly beneath the fundamentals. The response is immediate and expressive even at soft dynamics and the guitar opens naturally when played with strength without losing its clarity. One of the most striking qualities is the comfort of the instrument. The left hand glides freely across the fingerboard and complex passages feel unusually accessible. The overall impression is of a finely balanced guitar that combines intimacy with depth and presents a vivid and poetic tonal landscape.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n","brand":"Siccas Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52808389329229,"sku":"S18722","price":5990.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/4011\/7325\/files\/rojas-sanzol-2025-44.jpg?v=1763741861"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/4011\/7325\/collections\/jose-marques-2026-lattice-03.jpg?v=1779030934","url":"https:\/\/www.siccasguitars.com\/collections\/between-64-cm-and-65-cm.oembed?page=3","provider":"Siccas Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
