Rinaldo Vacca, a renowned guitar maker, was born in the small town of Cabras in the province of Oristano, located in the beautiful island of Sardinia, Italy, in 1960. His journey into the world of crafting stringed instruments began in the 1980s, fueled by his deep-rooted passion for music and the guitar.

This new method allowed Rinaldo to meticulously oversee each phase of guitar production, resulting in a consistently high standard of quality. He recognized the invaluable role that musicians played in his craft, considering them his greatest allies. Through their expertise and experience, musicians were able to identify the nuances and intricacies of the instruments, helping Rinaldo refine his techniques and achieve superior craftsmanship.

  • Classical Guitar

    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.
