Ciao Bella! Beautiful smaller bodied acoustic all the way from 1960’s Italy! Plays like a dream and sounds gorgeous with all the jangly 60’s Italian charm, and it’s super comfortable to play standing up with a strap. It's like finding a photograph from the early 60's that was between two pages of a book, it's a perfect snapshot with the original case, literature, and even the original capo! Message me for a video!

The Italian guitars are where the magic is. This guitar has all the sparkle and charm. It's an amazing fingerpicker with a feather-sensitive light touch and a gorgeous Joni Mitchell mid-range tone. The neck is straight as an arrow, action is insanely low with nice and bouncy string response. Every note and chord sounds lively and in-tune, there's a lot of life and spirit inside this one. The action is so low it's like an electric guitar, I was able to dial it in really nicely. All original right down to the tuners, strap buttons, and the original acrylic saddle. This is a proper Vox that was made in Italy with the bolt on neck, like a mini version of the one he used to record Ramble on! I think this guitar rules for fingerpicking but it could also be a front person's hard strumming guitar. Lot of tone lives in this guitar, message me for a video!

Finding the perfect acoustic to stand and play with can be a hard pursuit. Sometimes a dreadnaught that feels just right when you're sitting down can feel like you have a kayak strapped to the front of you when you stand up with it. Especially with bigger acoustics that have a lot of depth, they can be tough to get your arm around while standing up with a strap. A smaller guitar to stand up and play with can't just be a smaller guitar, it has to also be a good guitar with some rad vibe that you enjoy playing. This one has the true vintage vibes, the sound, the feel, the everything I want in an acoustic guitar to stand up and play with. I played it with a sound hole pickup straight into a Fender blues jr and it was epic. Beautiful and sparkly tone. The smaller body helps a lot with feedback in a live setting as well. You can get a lot more volume before feedback creeps in on this guitar more than most others that are larger, the feedback has less of a place inside the guitar to swell up in.  

This one is in stunning condition for the age. It almost looks new and not close to 60 years old. Comes with the original case, classic Mel Bay chord book, and even a 1960's capo that works really well! It's a great little time capsule from the 1960's, it's as if it was never really touched! It's obviously spent most of it's life in the case. Guitar stays in tune for days, feels great, sounds great, and is an awesome little companion! Great guitar!
