Overview

The 2024 Luca Pollastro No. 13 concert guitar exemplifies the Italian luthier’s refined craftsmanship and sensitivity to tradition. Built with a Val di Fiemme spruce top and over 20-year-old quarter-sawn Indian rosewood for the back and sides, it combines warmth, clarity, and projection in a beautifully balanced tone. Pollastro’s personal seven-fan bracing with transverse reinforcements, assembled using traditional animal glue, enhances resonance and responsiveness while maintaining structural integrity. The guitar’s aesthetic is equally refined, featuring hand-crafted bindings of maple, ebony, and snakewood, along with a distinctive pyramid-pattern rosette that adds elegance and individuality. The quarter-sawn cedrella neck and African ebony fingerboard ensure stability and comfort, while the hand-applied French polish highlights the natural beauty of the woods. With its wide dynamic range, rich timbre, and effortless playability, this instrument reflects Pollastro’s ability to unite classical tradition with the expressive needs of the modern guitarist.

More details about the guitar

About the luthier

Born in Galliate in 1994, Luca Pollastro discovered his passion for woodworking and music at a young age. During his final years of high school, he began building musical instruments as a self-taught craftsman. In 2015, he enrolled at the Civica Scuola di Liuteria in Milan, specializing in plucked instruments, and graduated as a Master Luthier under the guidance of Lorenzo Lippi and Fabio Bonardi. After completing his studies in 2019, Luca refined his expertise in classical and acoustic guitars through an apprenticeship with Aldo Illotta. In 2020, he established his own workshop in Galliate, focusing on crafting classical guitars and repairing plucked instruments. By 2024, he debuted as an exhibitor at the prestigious Roma Expo Guitars. Guided by a philosophy rooted in tradition, Luca draws inspiration from the great masters of the past while addressing the needs of modern guitarists. His meticulous selection of woods, attention to detail, and commitment to sound structure and playability make his instruments distinctive and highly sought after.

About the guitar

The concert guitar numbered 13, built using traditional animal glue and a personal seven-fan bracing system with transverse reinforcements, produces a voice that balances traditional warmth with the demands of contemporary guitarists. Its dynamic range, clarity, balance, and rich timbre are complemented by exceptional comfort and playability. The woods are carefully chosen for their aesthetic and mechanical properties: the back and sides feature quarter-sawn Indian rosewood with over 20 years of seasoning, and the soundboard is made from fine Val di Fiemme spruce. Decorative elements highlight Luca’s craftsmanship, with custom-made bindings of maple, ebony, and solid snakewood, accentuating the tonal and visual harmony of the selected woods. The rosette features a striking pyramid motif framed by these bindings, further enhancing the guitar’s refined aesthetic. A quarter-sawn cedrella neck and African ebony fingerboard complete the design, with the entire instrument polished to perfection using hand-applied French polish.

While this one is sold, these are ready for you

  • Classical Guitars

    The classical guitar, with its soft nylon strings and characteristic timbre, has become a symbol of chamber music, Spanish tradition, and concert repertoire. Its modern form was shaped by Antonio de Torres in the 19th century, setting the standard for the body, fan bracing, and the 65-centimeter scale length that are still used today. Instruments in this category open up a rich palette from the refined Romantic miniatures of Tárrega to the majestic concertos of Rodrigo. Here you will find guitars that preserve historical continuity and at the same time inspire new interpretations.
