Giannini AWNM1 Vintage Classical Guitar 1975


Collectors item


Handmade in Brazil in 1975

Solid Spruce Top from the Madeira Islands off the coast of West Africa

Back and sides are Brazilian Jaracanda which was listed an endangered species so logging of this timber has been banned since 1976.

The neck is Mahogany

The fretboard is made of Brazilian Pau Ferro which is very hard, probably harder than ebony

Distinctive headstock

Made with the local Brazilian tonewood except for the top

It has a beautiful sound

Low action easy to play

Very rare to find


In near new condition as seen in the photos

The small size is comfortable and is perfect for people with small hands or children.


Enhancements:

I've reshaped the braces to make the guitar more resonant and increase the sustain. The guitar is very loud for its small size. It's probably the loudest parlour size guitar in my collection.

The action is set at medium which allows for maximum volume with no buzzing.

The strings are premium D'Addario High Tension Carbon Strings which gives extra shimmer on the trebles and deep clear basses.
