Domenic Roscioli, 2025

Cedar / Ebony

This stunning 2025 concert guitar marks our first collaboration with Italian Australian luthier Domenic Roscioli, and what an introduction it is. Built as his No. 233, this lattice braced cedar top model combines deep, sustaining resonance with exceptional clarity and separation across the range.

Roscioli, a protégé of Jim Redgate, carries forward the Australian tradition while refining it through his own vision. The result is an instrument that bridges power and lyricism, offering a commanding voice that remains warm and expressive.

It projects with impressive strength yet retains a natural warmth that makes it adaptable for both concert and recording use.

Roscioli’s voicing emphasizes control and versatility. Every register speaks clearly, dynamic response is wide, and nail noise is subtly tamed, giving a clean and polished tonal result. It is the kind of guitar that inspires confidence and rewards musical intention.

The 640 mm scale and thin C-shaped neck provide exceptional comfort. The low action setup and ample saddle height allow for fine adjustment, and the carved Redgum armrest enhances ease of play while maintaining a sleek aesthetic.
