Trained in the workshops of Ennio Giovanetti and Roberto De Miranda, his work continues a lineage of Italian guitar making while developing an individual voice shaped by careful material selection, comfort, and expressive range. His instruments often draw from natural and symbolic sources, allowing visual identity, construction, and sound to become part of a coherent musical idea.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eIn Fracasso’s work, nature is not used merely as decoration, but as a source of structure, memory, and atmosphere. His attention to wood, resonance, and tactile response reflects a search for instruments with character, intimacy, and recognisable personality. This approach is especially present in Dolomnia, where his connection to the mountains of Veneto becomes part of the guitar’s identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the guitar\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThis 2026 Sebastiano Fracasso Dolomnia REG 2026 is a traditionally constructed classical guitar with a 40 year old naturally seasoned spruce top and birdseye maple back and sides. The model takes its name from the Dolomite rock formation, closely connected to the landscape of northern Italy and to Fracasso’s own origins near the Piccole Dolomiti. For the maker, the mountains, their shadows, forms, and geological presence, become a poetic reference for an instrument conceived as something alive, capable of transmitting resonance and shaping musical emotion.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eSedimenti e placche bagnate dai mari, ora tortuosissime montagne\u003cbr\u003e\r\nOcchi sinceri, ombre tra le forme, ricordi infiniti e passati\u003cbr\u003e\r\nFragile ma resistente rifugio della calma\u003cbr\u003e\r\nCompagna del tempo, amica dei saggi.\u003cbr\u003e\r\nDolomia\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eIn simple translation: sediments and plates once washed by the seas, now twisted mountains. Sincere eyes, shadows among forms, infinite and distant memories. A fragile yet resistant refuge of calm, companion of time and friend of the wise.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThis short text, written by Fracasso and placed inside the guitar, gives the instrument an intimate connection to the landscape that inspired it. It reflects the transformation of ancient sediment and stone into mountain forms, and mirrors the guitar’s own passage from carefully chosen materials into a resonant musical body.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe construction uses a seven strut bracing system inspired by Torres, refined through Fracasso’s own experience. The birdseye maple gives the guitar a distinctive visual character, with a lively figure that complements the clean, precise workmanship and the special rosette design created for this REG instrument. The low air body frequency, around E to F, supports a deep and relaxed body resonance, while the traditional structure remains responsive and controlled.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe voice is powerful, immediate, and intimate at the same time. The basses are deep and resonant, yet the upper register retains good sustain and clarity, avoiding the shortness that can sometimes accompany a very low resonance. The maple back and sides bring a rounded attack and a soft, slightly vocal quality to the sound, while the spruce top keeps the response open and direct. The guitar offers a wide dynamic range, from very quiet playing that still preserves fullness of tone to a broader sound with generous headroom. Dolomnia is therefore not only visually connected to its mountain concept, but musically shaped around depth, character, and a close connection between player and instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Siccas Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53810516296013,"sku":"S18950","price":7990.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/4011\/7325\/files\/sebastiano-fracasso-REG-2026-16.jpg?v=1777551221","url":"https:\/\/www.siccasguitars.com\/products\/sebastiano-fracasso-2026-dolomnia-reg-2026","provider":"Siccas Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
