About the luthier
Luca Santambrogio, born in 1995 in Desio, northern Italy, is a young luthier rooted in a region long associated with artisanal excellence. After earning a degree in industrial design, he turned to guitar making and graduated in 2022 from the Civica Scuola di Liuteria di Milano. His formative years included apprenticeships with respected luthiers Roberto De Miranda and Marco Bortolozzo, where he gained both a strong technical foundation and an appreciation for tonal refinement and visual clarity. Now working independently in Milan, Santambrogio draws on the legacies of Spanish masters like Antonio de Torres and José Luis Romanillos, crafting guitars that explore traditional construction through a highly disciplined and modern lens.
About the guitar
This 2025 traditional model by Luca Santambrogio is a tribute to Antonio de Torres’ FE24, conceived as a lightweight and responsive instrument built with historical sensibility. Weighing just 1190 grams, the guitar reflects Torres’ original structural lightness. The spruce top is paired with birdseye maple back and sides—selected not for tonal modification, but in adherence to the original FE24 materials. Although this instrument does not include a tornavoz like the historical model, it achieves a comparably low air body resonance between D sharp and E. The resulting voice is open and intimate, with a warm decay and refined balance. This is not a direct copy, but an interpretive homage: it honours Torres’ tonal and aesthetic ideals while applying Santambrogio’s own design discipline. The guitar speaks with delicacy, precision, and a clear, historically informed character.
