The Michele Della Giustina guitar, crafted in 2024 with serial number 429, is a testament to the luthier’s innovative artistry and commitment to acoustic excellence. Featuring a distinctive double-top design without a traditional core, this instrument combines spruce to achieve a lightweight yet structurally robust build. The back and sides are made of walnut, while the neck is crafted from khaya mahogany, enhancing both its tonal richness and visual elegance. Equipped with Pagos tuners and Knobloch Erithacus CX edc 34.0 strings, this guitar offers precise tuning and a vibrant tonal range. It comes in an Hiscox case and follows the style popularized by Uros Baric in his celebrated videos, delivering a sound that is natural, expressive, and rich in dynamics and tonal color.
The 644/51 scale-to-nut ratio, increasingly favored by guitarists and personally championed by Della Giustina, reflects a thoughtful balance between enhanced playability and uncompromised acoustic performance. This specification underscores the luthier’s forward-looking approach, catering to the needs of modern musicians. The innovative double-top design, free of a conventional core, provides exceptional responsiveness and flexibility, resulting in a sound that is dynamic and nuanced. This guitar is more than an instrument—it is a reflection of Michele Della Giustina’s vision, where tradition meets innovation to create an extraordinary tool for artistic expression.
