Gioachino Giussani, 2025

Cedar / Cypress

Italian luthier Gioachino Giussani is widely respected for his innovative, bold, and meticulously crafted guitars. This 2025 example reflects his modern approach to traditional guitar making, blending lightweight construction with thoughtful design features that elevate the sound, projection, and player experience.

At the heart of this instrument is a cedar lattice-braced top, paired with doubled cypress back and sides—a feature often found in some of today’s most powerful concert guitars. The doubled sides add structural rigidity and enhance projection and sustain without sacrificing the crisp, airy tonal qualities that cypress offers.

A standout feature is Giussani's integration of a soundport Tornavoz, combining the player feedback benefits of a soundport with an internal Tornavoz-style tube for increased projection, tonal focus, and warmth.
