Following business studies at the University of Valencia, he established a guitar trading company at age 18 and quickly became a leading client of Francisco Esteve Guitars. During this period, he also worked summers as an apprentice at the Esteve workshop, laying the groundwork for his technical formation. At 23, he fully committed to guitar making and returned to Guitarras Francisco Esteve, where he completed his apprenticeship under the guidance of his mentors. In 1980, he was appointed manager of the company, overseeing its expansion in both infrastructure and personnel. Under his direction, Esteve’s workshop tripled in size and gained international prestige. Beyond his managerial role, Adalid has contributed to the advancement of Spanish guitar making through international lectures and continuous research into modern construction techniques.

Over the years, he has focused on developing double-top guitars that preserve a traditional tonal aesthetic while pushing the boundaries of modern responsiveness.\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\nThis instrument, bearing serial number 75 and completed in 2025, is Youri Soroka’s most recent evolution of his double-top model. It features an all-wood composite soundboard: Italian spruce on the exterior and Western Red Cedar beneath, supported by a traditional 7-fan bracing system. This innovative construction maintains a natural acoustic response while achieving exceptional volume and sensitivity. The Indian rosewood back and sides exhibit striking, naturally patterned grain brought out by the warm-tinted French polish, which also imparts a golden hue to the spruce top.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\r\nTonally, this guitar stands out for its dark, rounded character and smooth, unforced voice. The basses are notably deep and resonant thanks to the low air-body frequency (around D♯\/E), while the trebles remain clear and well-separated; a key quality that ensures definition even in large concert halls. The response is fast yet never brittle, and the overall voice retains the essence of a traditional classical guitar, despite its modern build. A slightly elevated fingerboard enhances comfort and protects the top from nail contact. With a redesigned rosette, plantilla, and headstock crown, this model embodies both innovation and tradition.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n","brand":"Siccas Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52723105759565,"sku":"S18720","price":8990.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/4011\/7325\/files\/youri-soroka-2025-15.jpg?v=1763024683"},{"product_id":"julio-baarslag-espinosa-2025-doubletop","title":"Julio Baarslag Espinosa - 2025 Double top","description":"\u003ch3\u003eAbout the luthier\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eJulio Baarslag Espinosa represents the continuation of two deep-rooted lutherie traditions.

Since 1953 it has been the basis for the success story of the company, combined with trend-setting innovations. Master plucked instrument maker Armin Hanika took over the company from his father in 1993 and has been building classical guitars of outstanding quality ever since.\r\n\r\nThis “New Century Doubletop Model” is the latest innovation from Armin Hanika’s workshop. It has all the elements of a modern classical guitar: a raised fingerboard to improve access to the higher registers, an additional sound port on the side for better tonal control, and finally a beautiful insensitive finish ( lacquer\/wax) for the top and neck, which provides similar tonal characteristics as shellac. Also, one feature makes this guitar particularly intriguing: it has a second back placed in the middle of the body, which accelerates the interaction between soundboard and back. This provides both full sound with nice sustain and particularly good projection in larger rooms, resulting in a very responsive instrument.\r\n\r\nThis modern guitar has a traditional fan bracing made of spruce. Combined with the cedar top, the result is an instrument whose sound is both rich and spontaneous. The separation of voices, as well as the balance, is excellent. With the bridge made of thermo-checker-tree, much lower weight and damping than rosewood is achieved, which improves the response and increases the dynamics.

In 1994 he moved to Cremona to study musicology, immersing himself in a city whose history is inseparable from the highest traditions of Italian string instrument making. It was there, through the unexpected loss of his own guitar, that he turned toward lutherie. What began as an attempt to replace a stolen instrument became the starting point of a professional path that led him to graduate in 1998 from the violin making school in Cremona as a Maestro Liutaio.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eHis training continued through a sequence of formative workshop experiences that broadened both his technical knowledge and his understanding of different guitar making traditions. In California he worked with Kenny Hill, gaining direct experience of the traditional Spanish guitar, and later spent a year in the workshop of Tom Ribbecke in the San Francisco Bay Area, where he encountered a distinctly different approach through the making of archtop instruments. Further work with tonewood preparation and grading, including Brazilian rosewood, deepened his material knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eA decisive step followed in Córdoba, where contact with Paco Santiago Marín led Chiesa to settle in Granada and place himself within the living centre of Spanish guitar making. There, working alongside makers such as Antonio Marín Montero, José Plazuelo, and Rolf Eichinger, he refined the methods that would shape his own instruments. Since the early 2000s he has continued to build in Andalucía, developing a personal voice grounded in the Granada tradition while remaining open to careful structural evolution based on long term workshop experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the guitar\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThis 2025 anniversary model by Daniele Chiesa is a cedar double top built with Nomex and Indian rosewood, conceived as an advanced extension of his long established work rather than a departure from it. In Chiesa’s own account, this model has occupied much of his recent development, with each new instrument serving as a further refinement of structure, balance, and response. The present guitar reflects that ongoing process through a series of deliberate choices, including laminated sides, an asymmetrical six fan bracing pattern, and a reworked fingerboard structure that allows more exact preparation before final assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eWhat stands out musically is the combination of speed and order. The guitar is highly responsive, with an immediate, fast developing attack, yet the sound remains notably clean. That balance is central to the conception of the model. Chiesa speaks explicitly about the risks that cedar and double top construction can present when left unchecked, especially a tendency toward excessive darkness or an undefined blending of tones. Here those problems are clearly held in control. The voice is focused, even across the fingerboard, and capable of great activity without losing definition. Chords do not collapse into a single mass, and the sound keeps its shape even under a very lively response.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe tonal impression is that of a double top that preserves a strong connection to the traditional guitar. There is colour, detail, and balance in the sound, but also a roundedness and ease of response that belong to the reduced mass and efficiency of this construction. Rather than pushing toward an exaggerated modern effect, Chiesa seems to aim for a more natural integration of double top advantages into a musically familiar language. The result is a voice that feels elegant, precise, and structurally coherent, with a broad dynamic capacity and a particularly even behaviour from one register to another.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003ePart of that control comes from the underlying construction logic. Chiesa closes this model from the top, a method he values especially in double tops because it reduces the accumulation of edge tension and helps the soundboard remain more relaxed throughout its surface. He also uses interior finishing on the back and sides as a balancing tool, introducing a little more brilliance where cedar and double top construction might otherwise become too dark. These decisions are not presented as theory alone, but as the outcome of long empirical comparison between closely matched instruments. That attitude is characteristic of Chiesa’s work. The guitar is not designed around novelty for its own sake, but around carefully tested adjustments that shape response, clarity, and resilience in a controlled way.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eAs a result, this anniversary model offers a persuasive synthesis of refinement and power. It reacts quickly, remains composed, and speaks with a clean, elegant tone that avoids both heaviness and excess. For players seeking the immediacy and dynamic ease of a double top without giving up tonal discipline and a strong sense of traditional orientation, this guitar represents a mature and highly resolved interpretation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Siccas Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53529595314509,"sku":"S18905","price":13490.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/4011\/7325\/files\/daniele-chiesa-2025-doubletop-Aniversary-14.jpg?v=1773411722"},{"product_id":"anze-lopatic-2026","title":"Anze Lopatic - 2026","description":"\u003ch3\u003eAbout the luthier\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eAnže Lopatič, born in Ljubljana in 1998, came to instrument making through wood rather than through an inherited lutherie tradition. From an early stage he worked on smaller wooden objects, and this practical familiarity with the material gradually developed into a more focused interest in structure, behaviour, and craftsmanship. He later studied Wood Engineering at the Biotechnical Faculty of the University of Ljubljana, where he deepened his understanding of wood properties, construction logic, and acoustic performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eA decisive musical influence came through his sister, the professional guitarist Neža Lopatič, whose work brought the classical guitar into close personal reach. In 2021 he built his first classical guitar, and since then the instrument has become the centre of his workshop activity. His background gives his work a particular character. Rather than approaching the guitar only through inherited models, he brings an engineering based way of thinking to questions of resonance, material choice, and structural efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eAlthough still in an early phase of his career, Lopatič already shows a clear interest in connecting scientific understanding with practical making. His guitars reflect an effort to work consciously with the acoustic potential of the material, while keeping the result musically direct and usable for the player. That balance between technical awareness and straightforward musical purpose is one of the defining aspects of his work so far.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the guitar\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThis 2026 spruce and Indian rosewood guitar is built along traditional lines, yet its character is defined less by dryness or restraint than by a notable sense of carry in the tone. The notes hold on and continue, with a sustain that is immediately apparent and gives the instrument a certain breadth in the way sound unfolds. Rather than producing a sharply percussive response, the guitar lets the tone travel forward and remain present.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThat sustaining quality is supported by a strong tonal core. The sound has weight, but not heaviness in the negative sense. There is substance in the note, a feeling that each tone is firmly formed and pushed outward with continuity. At the same time, the guitar is not dark. Its colour tends toward brightness, which keeps the sound open and gives definition to the upper register. This combination of tonal mass and brightness is one of the most characteristic aspects of the instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe response is therefore not built around maximum speed, but around stability and length. For some players that will be exactly the attraction. The guitar does not rush the note out, but gives it time to settle and develop. In return, it offers a sustained line, clear colour, and a traditional voice with enough presence to fill the space convincingly.

Its soundboard features a balsa core with an Italian spruce inner layer and a golden-hued cedar outer top. The builder makes no secret of his artistic direction: “I’ve never made copies, even though I studied the great masters. I focus on a sound that looks into the future, not back.” His aim is not sheer power, but the ability to project naturally, filling the room with a voice of depth and resonance rather than aggression.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\r\nTo achieve this, he draws constant inspiration from the human voice — not for its volume, but for its emotional and acoustic range. “I think of people who speak softly but carry depth — their voice tells of lived experience, of joy and sorrow.” This ideal finds expression in a tone that is round, luminous, and unfailingly musical. The sound is smooth and balanced, combining warmth with clarity, and a refined softness that invites the listener in. It retains the characteristic depth of the double-top concept while preserving a broad palette of tonal colors and subtle dynamic shading. Notes emerge effortlessly, and the instrument answers instantly to the player’s touch, giving a sense of precision and ease.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\r\nThe sides of the guitar are of a distinctive laminated construction: doubled with a cedar braces that are sandwiched between the inner and outer layers. This original concept results in exceptional rigidity and stability while keeping the overall weight remarkably low. Made from wild Indian rosewood, both the sides and the back contribute to a sound that is focused, resonant, and generously projected. Five parallel braces under the top support this flexibility, combining with a short 640 mm scale and an elevated fingerboard to provide ease of access and physical comfort.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\r\nEqually vital is the instrument’s vibrant interaction with the player. “I work a lot on the elasticity of the vibrating system,” the maker explains, “so that the performer feels physically at ease.” His attention to the elastic response ensures a lively tactile feedback — a direct line from hand to sound. This immediacy makes it possible to unlock both technical clarity and tonal color, all in the service of musical freedom. Players describe the experience as secure and effortless, with an unusual sense of comfort even in rapid passages.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\r\nVisually, the instrument offers refined complexity.

This locally sourced beech — used on the rosette and purflings, and echoed at the heel, bottom joint, tie-block mosaic, and headstock — comes from the luthier’s own region and develops its unique patterns over time as a result of exposure to the elements. Distinctive material contrasts are subtly echoed across the instrument: the dark Makassar ebony of the bridge reappears on the Pagos tuner buttons, while the tuners’ black aluminum plate is mirrored by the oiled Madagascar veneer on the underside of the headstock, and the light, figured beech provides a natural counterpoint. “It’s a wood that in theory is ‘ruined’, but to me it becomes something beautiful — nature’s own decoration, which came before us all.”\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eMint condition, showing no visible wear and fully consistent with exceptionally careful storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n","brand":"Siccas Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53764262035789,"sku":"KS17903","price":8990.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/4011\/7325\/files\/Michele-Della-Giustina-2025-14_9324509d-7d98-42d1-b8b4-2b154f406b26.jpg?v=1764260270"},{"product_id":"pete-beer-2026-cir-mheala-no-114","title":"Pete Beer - 2026 Cir-Mheala No. 114","description":"\u003ch3\u003eAbout the luthier\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003ePete Beer is a Scottish luthier and educator based in Argyll, where he has been building guitars since 2001.

Rather than using Nomex, Beer works with an all wood honeycomb principle, removing mass within the soundboard while preserving the tonal warmth and organic character of cedar.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe construction gives the guitar a soft, rounded, and highly responsive voice. Its air body frequency around F to F sharp supports a deep and powerful bass register, while the walnut tornavoz helps reinforce depth and resonance across the body. The sound remains smooth and even, with a generous bass foundation and trebles that retain brightness without becoming hard.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eA central quality of this instrument is the combination of volume and softness. The guitar speaks easily under the right hand and produces a full sound with little resistance, while maintaining balance across the registers. The cedar top contributes warmth and immediacy, the Indian rosewood adds depth and colour, and the Klaus Scheller tuning machines provide precise and reliable function in keeping with the instrument’s concert level construction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Siccas Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53775521612109,"sku":"S18932","price":8490.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/4011\/7325\/files\/pete-beer-2026-Cir-Mheala-no-114-16.jpg?v=1777029312"},{"product_id":"carsten-kobs-2016-double-top","title":"Carsten Kobs - 2016 Double Top","description":"\u003ch3\u003eAbout the luthier\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eCarsten Kobs is a German luthier based in Hamburg and belongs to the first generation of makers in Germany to adopt double top construction.

After a technical education and an early personal involvement with music, he began studying the guitar and later approached lutherie as a self taught maker. He subsequently spent time in the workshop of Mario Novelli, a respected luthier of Florentine origin based near the hills of Treviso. In 2004, Maguolo officially opened his own workshop in Mestre, first in Via Giacinto Gallina and, from 2005, in the red house workshop in Via San Donà, Favaro Veneto.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eFrom the beginning, Maguolo dedicated himself to the construction of classical guitars, while also broadening his technical formation through courses in bow maintenance and repair at the Civic School of Lutherie in Milan with Pietro Cavalazzi, and in violin making at the School of Lutherie in Pieve di Cento with Marcello Bellei. Since 2013, he has exhibited regularly at Roma Expo Guitars, a central meeting point for Italian guitar making and for national and international players, collectors, and dealers. His work has gradually reached an international audience through specialised classical guitar shops and clients in Europe, Asia, and the Americas.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the guitar\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThis 2026 Marco Maguolo Ducale Double Top No. 322 REG Limited Edition is a cedar double top classical guitar with a Nomex core and Indian rosewood back and sides. Built as part of the Roma Expo Guitar Limited Edition project, it belongs to Maguolo’s own Ducale model and features an elevated fingerboard, giving the instrument a modern concert profile while preserving the visual refinement associated with his work. The neck is made from Cedrela odorosa, while the fingerboard is BrankoWood, a sustainable and stable alternative to ebony. Made from Pinus radiata and stabilised with natural resins, it offers a durable, moisture resistant surface with a highly uniform colour and an elegant appearance that recalls the classic visual character of ebony.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eFor this REG edition, Maguolo gave the instrument the title Future, Curiosity and Wonder. The concept grew from a visit to the Spallanzani School in Mestre, where he spoke to students about how a guitar is born and how wood can become sound. After one student asked whether he would dedicate a guitar to them, the idea became the emotional centre of this instrument. The dedication reflects youth as future, curiosity as a guiding force, and wonder as the openness through which discovery begins.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe guitar has a powerful, projecting voice with a bright and clearly defined tonal core. Its double top construction gives the sound immediacy and carrying strength, while the cedar top contributes warmth and colour. The sustain is long, with especially singing upper notes, and the instrument offers a broad dynamic range that allows the player to move from a quiet, controlled sound to a much fuller presence without losing tonal stability. In this Ducale Double Top, Maguolo brings together the classical guitar tradition and a contemporary construction concept in a voice that is direct, resonant, and musically flexible.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Siccas Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53810528813389,"sku":"S18942","price":9990.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/4011\/7325\/files\/marco-maguolo-REG-2026-15.jpg?v=1777551617"},{"product_id":"leonardo-de-gregorio-2024-doubletop-no-250","title":"Leonardo De Gregorio - 2024 Doubletop No. 250 64 cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eAbout the luthier\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eLeonardo De Gregorio studied guitar with Gianluca Persichetti and graduated with highest marks from the Conservatorio A.
