Sylvain's work on this guitar underscores the ongoing evolution of French luthiery, where tradition and innovation converge to produce instruments of exceptional quality and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLuthier:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSylvain Balestrieri\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction year:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2024\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTop:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpruce\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBack and sides:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIndian rosewood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScale:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e650 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNut:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e51 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1880 grams\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAir body frequency:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eG\/G#\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTuners:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScheller\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStrings:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKnobloch EDC 34.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCase:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBoblen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCondition:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNew\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n","brand":"Siccas Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52464187900237,"sku":"1489-1-1-2-1-1-2-1-2-11-4-15","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/4011\/7325\/files\/Sylvain-Balestrieri-2024-114.jpg?v=1758684526"},{"product_id":"sylvain-balestrieri-2025","title":"Sylvain Balestrieri - 2025","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the luthier\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify\"\u003eAfter graduating in classical guitar, Sylvain Balestrieri pursued further studies at the École Normale de Musique de Paris, immersing himself deeply in both performance and craftsmanship. He gained valuable experience in renowned London workshops, including Andy’s Guitar and Graham Noden, before founding his own workshop in Grenoble in 2008. There, he focuses exclusively on building a single concert model and restoring fine antique instruments. His annual output is limited, with a waiting list of several years, reflecting his philosophy of quality over quantity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify\"\u003eSylvain’s work is rooted in the French lutherie tradition, shaped by the influence of Robert Bouchet, Daniel Friederich, and Dominique Field. In the spirit of Friederich, Sylvain pursues a scientific and precise approach to guitar making. He meticulously measures the density, weight, and deformation under compression of each soundboard, both longitudinally and transversely, at various stages of construction. This analytical process enables him to produce guitars of consistent quality while continually pushing the boundaries of his craft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the guitar\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify\"\u003eThis 2025 concert guitar reflects Sylvain Balestrieri’s mission to unite the rich tonal tradition of French lutherie with the power, projection, and responsiveness demanded by modern concert stages. At the heart of this instrument is a spruce top supported by Sylvain’s own diamond-shaped bracing system, inspired by the traditional 7-fan layout. Designed to optimize the stiffness-to-weight ratio, this system allows for a thinner, more responsive soundboard, offering longer sustain, enhanced projection, and excellent sensitivity to the player’s touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify\"\u003eThe back and sides are reinforced with a complex internal structure. The back features nine braces, tall and slim, arranged transversely to enrich the upper harmonics while remaining lightweight enough to allow high-frequency resonance. The sides follow a similar philosophy: instead of doubling, Sylvain uses an intricate yet light bracing layout that promotes clarity, voice separation, and resonance across the frequency range. This compartmentalized design enhances polyphonic texture and tonal depth, much like how segmented walls in a concert hall enhance acoustics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify\"\u003eTonally, the guitar is colorful and lyrical, with excellent separation between voices and effortless projection. It performs with remarkable consistency across all dynamic levels, making it ideal for both expressive solo work and intricate polyphony. The use of stainless steel frets contributes not only to longevity but also adds a subtle brilliance, particularly noticeable in the upper register.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify\"\u003eEqually striking is the guitar’s visual refinement. Sylvain considers form and sound to be inseparable in artistic expression. The instrument features harmonious proportions throughout, from the elegantly contoured body to the cohesive headstock design. The understated rosette, made from black and white elements, forms a seamless visual dialogue with the purfling and is complemented by tuning buttons made of polished black buffalo horn. Up close, the attention to detail is remarkable: purfling strips worked to just 0.18 mm, a herringbone motif executed on a fine scale, and double dot rings of 0.3 mm veneers. Each detail is crafted to achieve unity, balance, and grace, both acoustically and visually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTake a look at the presentation video of this special guitar below, where you’ll find plenty of additional information about its playability and sound.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"table1\"\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLuthier:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSylvain Balestrieri\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction year:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2025\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction type:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTraditional\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTop:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpruce\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBack and sides:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIndian rosewood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrench polish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAir body frequency:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eG \/ G#\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScale:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e650 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNut:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e51 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1820 grams\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTuners:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKlaus Scheller\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStrings:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKnobloch - EDC 34.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCondition:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNew\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCase:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardshell\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gpsr\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetails about GPSR:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClassical Guitar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb\u003eManufacturer Information:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSylvain Balestrieri\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb\u003eResponsible Person:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSiccas Guitars GmbH, Roonstr. 31, 76137 Karlsruhe, Germany, www.siccasguitars.com, \u003ca href=\"mailto:info@siccasguitars.com\"\u003einfo@siccasguitars.com\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e For antique guitars, the GPSR does not apply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n","brand":"Siccas Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52464326213965,"sku":"1007202023444-23-34","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/4011\/7325\/files\/sylvain-balestrieri-2025-44.jpg?v=1758687233"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.siccasguitars.com\/collections\/sylvain-balestrieri-luthier.oembed","provider":"Siccas Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
