GIANINA

GIANINA

 

Introducing the Gianina - a guitar born out of a passionate desire to create a unique and awe-inspiring instrument. Commissioned by a client, this guitar blends the drive and thump of an archtop, the warmth and depth of a nylon, and the breathy-throaty sustain of a Selmer-Maccaferri. The result is a stunning guitar with a sound that's unlike any other.

Crafted with hand-selected aged spruce for the top and European maple for the back and sides, the Gianina boasts unique bracing and graduation, meticulously designed by Ryan to deliver an exciting extraction of the above-mentioned guitars' tonal quality. The dark, rich Cocobolo and ebony inlays contrast beautifully against the lighter spruce and maple, creating a striking aesthetic.

Featuring a slightly narrower neck than a classical guitar at 1 7/8", the Gianina's action and playability are incredibly smooth, making it a great choice for both fingerstyle and plectrum playing.

With a 15.5-inch lower bout, 25.5-inch scale, and handcrafted with HIDE GLUE DOVETAIL NECK and Natural Wood Bindings, the Gianina is a guitar that's sure to turn heads. Check out our pricing page for more information on this exquisite instrument.
