Classic Guitars International for fine classical and flamenco guitars, Chris Kamen
2008 Gioachino Giussani
Top: Cedar
Back and sides: Brazilian Rosewood
Origin: Italy
Price: $8,500


Another stellar guitar from Giussani, sides lined with Tuscany Cypress, back is very nice Brazilian with a beautiful center strip of sapwood. Like always, volume and a full bodied robust tone are present in this instrument that has a warm 'cedar' character that is not too dark. The saddle is a 'sliding' saddle, so that you can easily raise or lower the action by simply loosening the strings, sliding the saddle one way or the other, which results in a higher or lower action easily. A second saddle is also included. Beautiful Cedar top, Giussani uses some of the more beautiful Cedar to be found. A very comfortable guitar, with very good projection, originally 'discovered' by Pepe Romero, and with good reason. Fine concert guitars that are still priced very affordably.
