Both the outer and inner layers of the soundboard are cedar, joined by a nomex core, which contributes to its high responsiveness and tonal uniformity.

A decisive part of his formation came in 2014, when he met and studied with Andrea Tacchi and Paolo Coriani in Italy.

The upper voices are delicate, luminous, and beautifully shaped, with a singing quality that remains clear even in soft dynamics. At the same time, the instrument offers more volume than its graceful appearance might suggest, allowing the player to move through many shades of intensity without losing balance or refinement. Its sound feels elegant in the best sense: poised, responsive, and capable of subtle colour changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eVisually, the guitar reflects the same care for proportion and detail. The rosette, purflings, bindings, and the fine decorative line framing the fingerboard give the instrument a discreet but distinctive presence. Rather than separating sound and aesthetics, Schmidt brings them into the same language: a modern traditional guitar with a cultivated voice, a generous response, and a sense of beauty that remains controlled, musical, and sincere.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Siccas Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54159361179981,"sku":"S18984","price":5990.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/4011\/7325\/files\/fabio-schmidt-2026-18.jpg?v=1782320618"},{"product_id":"leonardo-de-gregorio-2026-double-top-no-289","title":"Leonardo De Gregorio - 2026 Doubletop No. 289","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. Casella in L’Aquila. He continued his musical training with Bruno Battisti D’Amario, Massimo Delle Cese, and Arturo Tallini at the Arts Academy in Rome, and attended masterclasses with internationally recognised guitarists including Roland Dyens, David Russell, and the Assad brothers. His background as a professional guitarist, soloist, chamber musician, and recording artist has strongly shaped his understanding of the instrument from the player’s perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eIn 2000, De Gregorio began studying lutherie, looking to historical models such as Torres and Hauser while remaining attentive to contemporary experimentation. This dual perspective, rooted in both performance and construction, led him to focus on qualities particularly valued by guitarists, including response, volume, and ease of execution. In 2016, he received the La Ruota d’Oro award from the Rotary Club of Rome in recognition of his contribution to artistic craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the guitar\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThis 2026 Leonardo De Gregorio double top combines a cedar soundboard with wenge back and sides, creating a modern concert instrument with a clear, responsive, and naturally coloured voice. Its sound is more luminous than dark, speaking quickly and freely while keeping a warm character. The instrument has the projection and response expected from a double top, yet it remains close to the expressive world of the traditional guitar: open, articulate, and carefully separated in its voices.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe strength of this guitar lies in its clarity. Each note can be followed easily, even within fuller textures, giving polyphonic passages a clean architectural shape. The basses are deep and present, adding weight and resonance without covering the upper register, while the trebles remain bright, focused, and singing. This balance between depth and transparency gives the instrument a refined concert character, where projection is supported by definition rather than by force alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eDe Gregorio’s background as a guitarist is especially apparent in the way the instrument supports the player. The response is fast, the voice releases easily, and the elevated fingerboard belongs naturally to its modern playing concept without disturbing the guitar’s tonal identity. It is a double top for players who want power, responsiveness, and ease, but who still value the colour, clarity, and human warmth of a more traditional sound.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Siccas Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54159389786445,"sku":"S18985","price":7490.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/4011\/7325\/files\/leonardo-degregorio-2026-double-top-no289-13.jpg?v=1782419043"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/4011\/7325\/collections\/marcelo-barbero-1945-9.jpg?v=1781254388","url":"https:\/\/www.siccasguitars.com\/collections\/new-guitars-at-siccas-guitars.oembed","provider":"Siccas Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
