This ‘classic’ classical guitar has no remarkable features except that it actually sounds very nice and it smells great. It was made in Brazil and there is something about the wood – same thing with my other Giannini guitar. I have had this one since the late seventies.
My very first guitar had been a smaller sized acoustic with nylon strings which I had bought from my friend Klaus around 1974. Clearly, as a beginner (and teenager) I didn’t know how to treat a guitar. I put a cheap magnetic pickup on only to discover that you need steel strings for that to work. So I put steel strings on. Not good an a non-reinforced neck. At one point I painted the top of the body black with some left-over plastic paint I used to paint my Revell airplanes with. When I moved out from home my brother took it and I don’t know what became of it.
But after a few years of only electric guitar I started playing classical guitar music and needed a cheap classical guitar. Until around the mid nineties most of my own music was composed on this guitar. And it did appear on a whole bunch of recordings. As with my other Giannini classical the action is very low which makes some of the strings buzz a little every once in a while. But since I am not a classical guitarist by any means that has never bothered me.
