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 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.

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":7990.0,"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.

After moving to a few other workshops and serving as a soldier for Spain, he eventually took over Enrique Garcia’s position in Manuel Ramirez’s workshop in 1905. His involvement in the building of Andrés Segovia’s famous 1912 Manuel Ramirez sealed his reputation as an extraordinary luthier. He opened his first own workshop in 1921 after having worked for Manuel Ramirez’s widow along with Domingo Esteso.\r\n\r\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the guitar\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\r\nThis exceptional guitar is considered one of the luxury models made by Santos Hernández, clearly distinguished by its elaborate decorative elements. Although dated 1932 on its label, clearly reflects the design and craftsmanship typical of Santos Hernández’s work from the 1920s. The materials used—particularly the Brazilian rosewood for the back and sides—are consistent with the wood Santos had access to during his tenure at Viuda de Manuel Ramírez. The rosette features a central motif reminiscent of ancient Greek design, a distinctive detail also commonly seen in his earlier works under Viuda de Manuel Ramírez.\r\n\r\n\u003ch2\u003eHistorical Significance \u0026amp; Attribution\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\r\nAccording to Gabriele Lodi, who restored this remarkable instrument, it’s crucial to understand the transitional period when Santos Hernández left his role at the Viuda de Manuel Ramírez workshop and established his own. During this early period of independence, he is believed to have entered an exclusive production contract with the firm Romero y Fernández, which helped secure a steady income and guaranteed sales—particularly for the Argentine market. These guitars varied in their level of ornamentation and quality, and some were even delivered without labels. It was possibly during this phase that Santos began marking his guitars with a unique stamp beneath the soundboard as a sign of authenticity and authorship.\r\n\r\n\u003ch2\u003eConstruction \u0026amp; Internal Design\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\r\nInternally, this instrument echoes Santos Hernández’s Torres-inspired construction style, which he developed during his time with Manuel Ramírez. This makes the guitar not only a historically significant example of early 20th-century Spanish luthiery but also a rare document of a master craftsman’s evolution.\r\n\r\n\u003ch2\u003eSound \u0026amp; Playability\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\r\nSonically, the guitar is a marvel. It captures the essence of the “old world” tone—warm, lyrical, and full of nuance—yet remains relevant and inspiring for modern repertoire. The bass response is rich and free due to the low body resonance, while the trebles are sweet, charismatic, and articulate. It is an instrument of great expressive range, equally suited for refined historical interpretation and contemporary concert performance.\r\n\r\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\r\nThis guitar is in very good condition. It has been professionally restored by Gabriele Lodi, one of the most highly respected experts in the restoration of historical instruments.

The entire instrument is finished in French polish.

The balance across the registers is exceptional, so contrapuntal lines remain clear and harmonically connected. The guitar possesses a depth that encourages expressive phrasing and has the capacity to fill a hall while preserving intimacy and refinement.

He was regarded as a highly skilled craftsman and a visionary luthier who devoted much thought to improving the sound qualities and intonation of the classical guitar. Rather than following established patterns too closely, he designed instruments with distinctive outlines and structural ideas, always in search of a more precise and responsive voice.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\r\nHis guitars stand out through their unusual visual concepts and carefully considered details. Vogt combined solid traditional construction with personal solutions that were often closer to fine furniture joinery than to standard guitar making. The result is a small body of work that attracts players who appreciate instruments with an individual look and a thoughtful, acoustically driven design.\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\nThis guitar, No. 406 from 1984, is a clear example of Vogt’s independent approach. The spruce top carries an oval soundhole that is elongated in the string direction instead of being circular, which gives the instrument an immediately recognisable appearance. The outline of the body is fuller in the central section than on many standard models and creates a generous plantilla. The back and sides are made of Indian rosewood, and both the soundboard and the body are finished in a transparent polyurethane that protects the wood while keeping the natural figure visible. The headstock is richly carved and reveals the amount of careful handwork involved. Landstorfer tuners complete the set up.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\r\nOne of the most striking construction details is the neck joint. On the rear of the headstock transition a multi tenon interlocking joint is visible, with several vertical tongues fitting into corresponding recesses. This type of stepped joint is more familiar from high level furniture making than from guitar building and is executed here with great precision. It creates an extended area between the headstock and the first fret, so the left thumb finds an unusual amount of space and support in this region and the player experiences a very relaxed hand position.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\r\nThe sound of this guitar feels effortlessly open. It is a very well breathing instrument and the notes come out easily without the player needing to push. Soft overtones surround the core of the tone and give the timbre a creamy and smooth character, so even firm attacks remain rounded and pleasant. The guitar has an airy voice with a gentle shimmer that invites long legato lines. Despite the slightly thicker neck with a profile that leans towards a D shape, comfort is exceptional. Many players will experience it as one of the most comfortable necks they have tried, with a natural support that encourages relaxed playing and secure shifts. The air body resonance lies around G to G sharp and contributes to the sensation of a freely vibrating yet controlled instrument.

Even in very soft dynamics, the guitar retains a complete tonal spectrum, offering substance and clarity in pianissimo playing. As volume increases, the instrument responds with ease and stability, maintaining balance rather than pushing individual registers forward. The result is a guitar that supports expressive phrasing, nuanced articulation, and a natural musical flow across the fingerboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n","brand":"Siccas Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53055042355533,"sku":"S18786","price":7990.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/4011\/7325\/files\/kristof-meeus-2025-15.jpg?v=1766504324"},{"product_id":"fabio-zontini-2023-reg-limited-edition","title":"Fabio Zontini - 2023 REG Limited Edition","description":"\u003ch3\u003eAbout the luthier\u003c\/h3\u003e  \r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eFabio Zontini, born in Milan in 1971, is a distinguished Italian luthier with a strong foundation in historical guitar construction. He graduated from the Civica Scuola di Liuteria di Milano in 1996 with a diploma in restoration and has since built over 250 instruments. Deeply influenced by the legacy of great makers such as Antonio de Torres, Hermann Hauser I, Francisco Simplicio, Pietro Gallinotti, and Louis Panormo, Zontini has studied many original historical instruments firsthand. His research includes an in-depth analysis of the 1859 Torres guitar once owned by Miguel Llobet, conducted at the Museu de la Música in Barcelona in 2007. He has participated in numerous exhibitions, festivals, and academic events across Europe and Central America, and was one of 15 luthiers involved in the collaborative “Arcimbolda” project for the Roma Expo Guitar in 2016. Since the early 2000s, Zontini has lived and worked in the quiet Ligurian countryside near Olle, where his instruments are crafted with close attention to both traditional aesthetics and refined tonal expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the guitar\u003c\/h3\u003e  \r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThis 2023 Roma Expo Guitar Special Edition by Fabio Zontini is a traditional concert guitar created specifically for the Roma Expo Guitar event. Rooted in the aesthetic language of Antonio de Torres, it features design elements such as a finely executed rosette and a headstock inspired by 19th-century Spanish models. These historical references are paired with modern tonal refinement, expressed through a master-grade spruce soundboard and striking Caribbean rosewood for the back and sides. The materials are visually harmonious, with warm hues and dramatic contrast that echo the instrument’s tonal palette.\u003c\/p\u003e  \r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eTonally, the guitar offers a broad range of color and dynamics.

The instrument responds with precision to subtle right-hand nuance, offering intimacy, control, and lyrical flexibility. Though firmly rooted in traditional construction, this guitar is highly suited to contemporary concert performance, inviting an expressive and immersive playing experience.\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 only minimal signs of playing wear.

Born in Aguilar (Córdoba) and raised partly in El Puerto de Santa María, he began making instruments professionally in the mid-1960s before gaining international recognition after moving to Italy in 1974, where he established a workshop in Biella and earned distinction at the Antonio Stradivari international competition in Cremona in 1976, reportedly the first Spaniard to receive a diploma there. Returning to Spain, he became known not only for his finely crafted and restored instruments but also for teaching and mentoring many younger makers, helping to shape a “school” of lutherie in Málaga that continued through his son and successors. Chacón was awarded major honors including Spain’s Silver Medal of Fine Arts and the first “Master Artisan” title granted to a luthier by the Andalusian regional government, served as president (and later honorary president) of AELAP, and authored several works on lutherie, including La guitarra en la luthería, before his death in Málaga in 2019.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the guitar\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThis beautiful traditional guitar by José Ángel Chacón is a fine example of classic Spanish guitar making.
