Mario excelled not only as a soloist, but also as a respected professor at the Stuttgart Musikhochschule, and as a passionate luthier and collector. His deep love for the instrument continues to guide their vision.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eRooted in the experience behind Siccas Guitars, a reference for hand-made instruments by the world’s finest luthiers past and present, Mirco and Manuel set out to create guitars that reflect the same high standards of sound, aesthetics, and craft. This vision led to the creation of Siccas Luthiers, a project shaped by unique designs developed in-house by a team of experienced luthiers and players.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the guitar\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe Siccas Luthiers Halo Traditional takes the Spanish guitar as its musical and aesthetic foundation without seeking to reproduce a particular historical instrument. Its name reflects the concept: tradition remains at the centre, surrounded by a contemporary approach to detail, refinement, and playing response. The result preserves the open, colourful character associated with traditional Spanish guitars while offering the immediacy and control expected from a contemporary concert instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eIn this 65 cm version, the cedar soundboard brings a darker, deeper, and more atmospheric character to the Halo. The basses have considerable depth and presence, while the low body resonance around F\/F♯ establishes a warm foundation that supports the voice across the registers. Rather than concentrating this resonance only in the lower range, the guitar carries that sense of depth upward, giving the sound a spacious and enveloping quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eAgainst this darker foundation, the trebles retain clarity and definition. Notes remain well separated even as the surrounding resonance gives them warmth and colour, allowing the upper register to open without becoming thin or detached from the rest of the instrument. The overall impression is wide and spacious: the sound has room to develop and decay naturally while musical lines remain articulate.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eA defining quality of the Halo Cedar is how strongly its own colour participates in the music. Its darker resonance, warm depth, and slightly mysterious character become part of the phrasing itself, giving individual notes and harmonic changes an atmospheric quality without obscuring their shape. Indian rosewood back and sides complement the traditional construction concept, while the full 65 cm scale retains the familiar proportions and feel of a classical concert guitar.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eRather than placing tradition and modernity in opposition, the Halo uses one to frame the other: the character and resonance of the Spanish guitar remain at its core, presented through a responsive contemporary instrument with a distinctly dark and expressive personality. It comes in a hard shell case.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003ePre-Order Special Price\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThis instrument is currently available as part of the Halo Traditional pre-order launch.
