60th Anniversary GIAMBATTISTA

Paris, France, 2009
German Spruce Soundboard, Indian Rosewood Back and Sides
Ebony fretboard with 650 mm string length
$ 3600

The Giambattista 60th Anniversary model from the famous Franco-Italian workshop of J. Castellucia is the pinnacle of this old guitar-making enterprise's creations with the choicest tone woods from the German Alps and East India.

The guitar delivers a full rich tone, warmer than the general run of spruce top instruments with excellent sustain and projection. The clear definition of notes allows for expressive interpretation of contrapuntal music and the great dynamic range embellishes romantic works. A fine guitar for an aspiring concert artist.
