His path as a luthier began under the guidance of Carlo Raspagni, whose teaching gave him a foundation in both practical craftsmanship and the deeper acoustic principles of instrument making. Over the following decades, Della Giustina developed an international presence through collaborations and presentations in Japan, the United States, China, Poland, and across Europe, while continuing to build and teach from his workshop in the province of Belluno. His work reflects a careful study of historical guitar making, a refined understanding of tonewoods, and a continuing search for instruments that combine traditional colour with the projection and responsiveness expected by today’s concert players.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the guitar\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThis 2026 Michele Della Giustina is a double-top concert guitar with a notably open and natural voice. Rather than emphasizing only volume or immediacy, it offers a carefully balanced musical character: the response is quick, the sustain is impressively long, and the sound remains clear enough for each note to be followed within the texture. The spruce double top gives the guitar a modern sense of energy and carrying power, while the wild Indian rosewood back and sides contribute depth, colour, and a rounded resonance that keeps the sound close to the expressive world of a traditional classical guitar.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eIts tonal behaviour is especially convincing in the way it combines different qualities without allowing one to dominate. The attack speaks easily, the notes continue with singing persistence, and the registers remain cleanly separated, avoiding the compressed or nasal quality sometimes associated with double-top construction. There is enough brilliance for clarity in contrapuntal writing, enough warmth for lyrical playing, and enough sustain to let phrases unfold with breadth. The raised fingerboard and armrest add a contemporary level of comfort, making this a refined and versatile instrument for players who want modern projection without losing tonal transparency and colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eExcellent condition, with normal signs of careful use. The French polish on the back and neck has been refreshed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Siccas Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54202728808781,"sku":"S18989","price":7990.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/4011\/7325\/files\/michele-della-giustina-2026-no435-11.jpg?v=1783069649","url":"https:\/\/www.siccasguitars.com\/products\/michele-della-giustina-2026-no-435","provider":"Siccas Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
