This little guitar has such a deep soul! Beautiful tones come crashing it out of it like waves on the shore. Great instrument and a joy to play, message me for a video!


I love Giannini guitars from Brazil, particularly during this time in the 1970’s. A lot of experienced guitar players who have seen a lot of different guitars have at one point or another picked up a Giannini and just thought “ahhhhhh.....that‘s nice.” I think a good nylon string guitar should mellow you out, slow you down, and simplify your ideas in ways that helps you organize them. This guitar has that nice soothing mellow soul to it that does that for you. You’re still who you are playing any guitar, but a good guitar like a good therapy dog can help you be who you intend to be and who’s best for you to be. Thanks for listening to my thoughts on this subject.

This guitar is great to play, I absolutely love it. It’s a gorgeous instrument. I’ve had a number of guitars from Brazil in over the years, and this is up there with the most soulful of them that I've played from the Giannini world of guitars. It plays like a dream with really nice action, it feels very soft and responsive to the touch. The tone is gorgeous, the back and sides with that rich and dark rosewood add some beautiful complexity and depth to the tone. It’s a bit smaller and more comfortable guitar compared to a lot of other classical guitars, but it has incredible dimension in the sound. It plays beautifully all up and down the neck, the frets are nice and even, it stays in tune for days, it feels wonderful and inspiring to play, it’s got the whole package! 

I love this type of condition that the guitar is in, I love guitars with honest play wear. The best ones with the most songs in them have some miles on them. The label on the inside is from some random distributor that looks like it may have been for a music school of some sort, and they put it at a crazy angle. A lot of Gianninis were made as blanks and were labeled afterwards by someone who bought a lot of them, or they weren't labeled at all. This one has had some repaired top cracks, whoever did them did an excellent job, they're nicely cleated on the inside and nice and level on the top. This guitar is all about soul and feel over anything else, and this one has soul for days. Great songwriter and a beautiful companion!
