This results mainly three models adaptable to different needs music: guitars with the case in rosewood, maple and tools meet the individual needs of the guitarist, all with tables in Italian spruce, which he preferred for its quality timbre, and Canadian cedar. 
He transferred the Tuscan hills, surrounded by enchanting medieval countries to work in contact echo of voices of the forest and recreate a climate of work done creativity and even serenity. 
Apply a particular care to choice and woodworking, sharing the thought of Michelangelo  “non ha l'ottimo artista alcun concetto/ che un marmo solo in se non circoscriva col suo soverchio e solo a quello arriva/ la mano che ubbidisce all'intelletto ". 
A good guitar is already in the wood you choose, to make it arise in the life of music is a fascinating task.
