About the luthier

About the guitar
Guitar No. 70, built in 2025, is a traditionally constructed instrument that showcases Marco Gilioli’s maturing style and tonal sensibility. With a spruce soundboard and Indian rosewood back and sides, it delivers a warm, spacious tone rich in clarity and depth. The voice is especially notable for its expressive balance — the basses are deep and supportive, while the trebles sing with sweetness and precision.
The guitar’s refined dynamic response and tonal colors lend themselves beautifully to nuanced phrasing. Its resonance is open and natural, with a fast response and a pleasing sustain that supports both lyrical and rhythmically articulated playing. Whether in quiet or assertive passages, the sound retains focus and grace.
The neck, made from red cedar and topped with an ebony fingerboard, offers a smooth, stable playing surface. At 1350 grams, the instrument feels lightweight yet substantial. Its construction is elegant, with fine detailing and a traditional aesthetic. Alessi tuners ensure precise tuning stability, and the French polish finish completes the instrument with a luminous touch.
