About the guitar
The 2025 Michele Della Giustina guitar (serial no. 434) is an outstanding example of both the luthier’s innovative approach and his dedication to acoustic excellence. The innovative double-top design—crafted without a traditional core—is made of spruce, resulting in a structure that is exceptionally lightweight yet durable. Bubinga back and sides give the instrument both tonal depth and aesthetic character, while the Spanish cedar neck enhances the sound and playing comfort.
The Michele Della Giustina guitar, serial number 434, is a testament to innovative luthiery and a commitment to acoustic perfection. It features a unique double-top construction without a conventional core, using spruce to achieve a structure that is both light and strong.
