In 2007, he completed a year of training with Roberto De Miranda, with whom he continues to collaborate. He has also attended seminars with Tiziano Rizzi, Enrico Bottelli, and Roberto De Miranda, and since 2008 has regularly taken part in guitar making festivals and exhibitions throughout Italy. Having worked in Lombardy, Apulia, and Piedmont, Schmidt has developed close collaborations with excellent guitarists in each region. He currently lives and works in Lodi.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eSchmidt’s philosophy is shaped by the idea that a musical instrument is never merely an object, but the means through which a musician expresses artistic identity. His guitars seek the charm of the traditional Spanish guitar while pursuing the efficiency and responsiveness of contemporary instruments. Although inspired by historical Spanish lutherie, his work is modern and personal in conception, with particular attention to sincerity of construction, detail, and the elusive quality that allows each instrument to become individual in the hands of its player.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the guitar\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThis 2026 Fabio Schmidt is a traditional concert guitar with a spruce top and Indian rosewood back and sides, built with the elegance and clarity that define his personal approach. Its voice is refined rather than forceful at first impression, yet it reveals an impressive dynamic range and a confident sense of projection. The spruce gives the sound a lucid, finely articulated surface, while the Indian rosewood adds warmth, depth, and a polished harmonic frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe character of this guitar lies especially in its treble register. 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","url":"https:\/\/www.siccasguitars.com\/products\/fabio-schmidt-2026","provider":"Siccas Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
