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.

In 2015 he opened his workshop in Paderno Dugnano, near Milan, where he builds classical guitars and also carries out fine adjustments, restoration, and repair of plucked instruments. His guitars are rooted in the traditional style, inspired by the great masters, yet marked by his meticulous attention to the selection of materials and detail in construction. Bazzana follows the philosophy that every component of a guitar “must vibrate in its entirety,” guiding his search for harmony in sound and integrity in craftsmanship. Influenced by the French school of lutherie, particularly Robert Bouchet and Daniel Friederich, his instruments combine clarity, projection, and sensitivity with elegant design.\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the guitar\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\nThis 2025 guitar, numbered 73, is a traditionally built instrument with a cedar top and Indian rosewood back and sides, finished with French polish. The sides are doubled with cypress, a feature that enhances projection and attack. The scale length of 640 mm with a nut width of 51.5 mm offers enhanced comfort for the left hand while retaining secure string spacing. At 1395 grams it is lightweight, supporting both sensitivity and projection. The instrument is fitted with Alessi tuning machines and delivered in a hardshell case.\r\n\r\nThe bracing, inspired by French designs, provides both power and clarity. The tonal palette is wide and colorful, with clear separation and crystalline projection, while retaining warmth in the cedar voice. The trebles are luminous, the basses resonant, and the midrange rich, resulting in a sound that is loud yet refined. The response is quick and elastic, giving the impression of an instrument that “breathes” freely and reacts immediately to even small variations of touch. Higher registers maintain fullness and intensity, while polyphonic textures remain balanced and distinct. The sensitivity of the guitar rewards careful right-hand preparation, allowing the performer to shape tone with precision.","brand":"Siccas Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52470164226381,"sku":"S18674","price":7490.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/4011\/7325\/files\/danilo-bazzana-2025-2-15.jpg?v=1763026567"},{"product_id":"paul-fischer-1982-nr-470","title":"Paul Fischer - 1982 - No. 470","description":"\u003ch2\u003eAbout the luthier\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\r\nPaul Fischer, born on the Isle of Man and raised in Oxford, began his career in instrument making under the guidance of harpsichord builder Robert Goble, where he was trained in the finest European tradition. 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.

This cultural atmosphere, along with a pivotal encounter with the South American luthier Ricardo Brané, inspired him to pursue guitar making. Throughout the 1980s, Tacchi refined his skills under the guidance of Robert Bouchet and Daniel Friederich. His development continued through interactions with other great makers such as Ignacio Fleta, José Romanillos, and Robert Ruck, during travels to the United States, England, and Spain.\r\n\r\nIn 1985, Andrea Tacchi won first prize at the “Concours International des Facteurs de Guitare” organized by Robert Vidal of Radio France, a recognition that marked the beginning of his international acclaim. Since then, his instruments have been played by a remarkable roster of concert artists and professors including Carlo Marchione, Carlotta Dalia, Antigoni Goni, Renata Arlotti, Filomena Moretti, Flavio Cucchi, Robert Gruca, Colin Davin, Minoru Inagaki, and Marcelo Kayath.

After studying at the Liceo Artistico Statale in Bergamo, she graduated from the Civica Scuola di Liuteria in Milan, where she focused on building and restoring early music plucked string instruments. Since 2006, she has collaborated with lutherie schools (Civica Scuola di Liuteria di Milano, Accademia di Liuteria Piemontese, Cr Forma Cremona, Scuola di Artigianato Artistico Centopievese), associations, institutions, companies, and music conservatories, teaching masterclasses on construction, varnishing, and restoration of plucked string instruments both in Italy and abroad. She primarily creates a personal model of traditional classical guitars, drawing inspiration from great masters of the past, while also exploring modern projects using new technologies and materials to meet contemporary guitarist needs.

For the Double-Top, the soundboard was constructed using Nomex, a lightweight material inserted between two thin wooden layers, combined with a traditional bracing pattern.\r\n\r\nThe goal for both models was not simply to create an instrument with a loud or extreme sound, but rather to achieve increased power and projection, while preserving the tonal richness and subtle nuances that define the sound of traditionally built guitars.\r\n\r\nOne of the distinctive visual features of this Double-Top model is the rosette motif, which symbolically represents the structure of the Nomex material. This detail serves as an aesthetic signature, distinguishing it from its sister, the Lattice model, at first glance.","brand":"Siccas Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52471287480653,"sku":"S18596","price":10490.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/4011\/7325\/files\/Silvia-Zanchi---2025-Doubletop-REG-Edition-74.jpg?v=1763031703"},{"product_id":"karel-dedain-2021","title":"Karel Dedain - 2021","description":"\u003ch2\u003eAbout the luthier\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\r\nKarel Dedain, born in 1976, built his first guitar in 1998.

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.

His path into the craft grew out of both musical practice and independent study. As a young musician he played guitar and other instruments across different styles, but a decisive impression came during his violin studies, when he encountered the workshop of the luthier Contavalli in Imola. The materials, tools, and atmosphere of that workshop left a lasting mark and gradually led him toward instrument making.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eNannoni approached guitar making largely as a self taught researcher, grounding his work in long study of the physics and acoustics of the classical guitar. Over the years he examined historical instruments in museums and private collections and closely studied the work of important makers from earlier generations. This investigative habit became central to his own method, in which observation, comparison, and structural reasoning all play an important role.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eFrom the early years of his career, Nannoni was invited to exhibitions in numerous Italian cities and gave lectures on guitar making in both public and private institutions. His work has also been shaped through regular exchange with musicians, whose practical insight has remained an important reference point. Today his guitars are played in Italy and abroad by conservatory teachers and young concert players, including prize winners of major international competitions.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the guitar\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eAsterope is a 2026 lattice bracing guitar by Giancarlo Nannoni, named after one of the Pleiades of Greek mythology, the nymphs transformed into stars. The instrument is built with a torrefied cedar soundboard and Madagascar rosewood back and sides, enriched by a Honduran cedar insert in the back. Even before one comes to the playing qualities, the concept is clearly defined: this is not a generic lattice design, but a guitar whose internal structure and material choices are directed toward a very specific tonal result.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eAccording to Nannoni, the torrefied cedar used for this guitar showed lightness, elasticity, and an especially strong acoustic response during construction. That behaviour led him to adopt a lattice bracing pattern extending across the entire lower bout. The lattice itself is made to his own design and built entirely in wood, using thin spruce strips. This matters because the instrument does not aim at an artificial kind of power. Its voice is meant to remain natural, while gaining breadth, support, and a high degree of acoustic efficiency from the structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe resulting sound is shaped less by dryness or compression than by expansion and tonal presence. The trebles are bright and precise, giving the upper register clear projection and a distinct melodic edge. At the same time, the basses are deep and well defined, which keeps the lower register firm and intelligible rather than diffuse. This combination of luminous high notes and grounded low notes gives the guitar a broad tonal span without making it feel exaggerated.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eAsterope therefore stands out not simply as a lattice bracing model, but as a carefully directed exploration of response, colour, and structural efficiency. The torrefied cedar contributes liveliness and readiness, while the wooden lattice helps the instrument speak with power and openness without losing naturalness. It is a guitar with a clear concept behind it and a tonal profile built around precision above, depth below, and a resonant voice that remains musically composed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Siccas Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53529604260173,"sku":"KS17873","price":7990.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/4011\/7325\/files\/giancarlo-nannoni-2026-asterope-16.jpg?v=1773415433"},{"product_id":"olivier-fanton-dandon-2010","title":"Olivier Fanton d'Andon - 2010","description":"\u003ch3\u003eAbout the luthier\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eOlivier Fanton d’Andon was born in France in 1953 into a family of musicians.

Rather than relying on visual excess, his guitars tend toward clarity of concept and careful execution. This gives his instruments a distinct elegance and places them within a lineage in which craftsmanship, tonal discipline, and musical usefulness are closely connected.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the guitar\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThis No. 95 from 2024 is a lattice braced concert guitar with a cedar top and Indian rosewood back and sides. The model combines a compact 64 cm scale with a modern structural concept aimed at quick response, broad dynamic capacity, and an unusually active soundboard. The result is an instrument that reacts immediately to the player while maintaining substance and tonal breadth behind the initial attack.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eA particularly strong aspect of this guitar is the way the trebles develop. They carry with notable amplitude and have a mature, settled quality rather than a merely brilliant surface. At the same time, the voice as a whole offers considerable resonance and depth, allowing the instrument to move easily between direct projection and more shaded, color oriented playing. This makes the guitar especially convincing for players who value precision in articulation without giving up richness of sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eIts dynamic range and tonal palette contribute further to that impression. The guitar responds with clarity and flexibility across a wide range of touch, making it possible to shape lines with control and to preserve definition even in more demanding textures. Taken as a whole, this François R. Leonard presents itself as a highly responsive contemporary concert guitar whose lattice construction serves not raw output alone, but also depth, color, and musical control.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe guitar is in excellent condition with normal signs of wear. There are no cracks and no repairs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Siccas Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53693157835085,"sku":"KS17893","price":7990.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/4011\/7325\/files\/francois-r-leonard-2024-no95-19.jpg?v=1775834321"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/4011\/7325\/collections\/hermann-hauserII-1976-1014_a-03.jpg?v=1779031054","url":"https:\/\/www.siccasguitars.com\/collections\/guitars-between-7000-and-15000.oembed?page=3","provider":"Siccas Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
