About the luthier
Angelo Vailati is part of the younger generation of Italian luthiers who have already made a name for themselves on the international stage. After studying under respected masters such as Enrico Bottelli, José Luis Romanillos, and Daniele Chiesa, he established his own workshop in Bologna, Italy. His guitars reflect a deep respect for traditional European craftsmanship while embracing refined modern aesthetics and an individual acoustic vision. Each of his instruments demonstrates meticulous attention to tonal balance, dynamic range, and elegant playability, placing him among the most notable figures of contemporary Italian guitar making.
About the guitar
Model No. 258, completed in September 2025, is what Angelo Vailati describes as his standard concert model, developed after his time working with Daniele Chiesa in Granada in 2008. In the maker’s own words: “It fully represents my building style. In the sound I try to harmonize modernity and tradition, seeking a poetic tone without compromising the efficiency of the sound emission, even in the higher registers.”
The top is made from Swiss spruce, paired with well-seasoned Indian rosewood for the back and sides. The neck is Cedrela, and the fingerboard is African ebony. The five-fan bracing includes a low bridge bar, designed to optimise the balance of projection and colour. The rosette is distinctively Vailati’s own, combining a central lozenge motif in maple and ebony with an outer mosaic inspired by Simplicio. A beautifully figured maple purfling adds movement and brightness to the instrument’s darker tonewoods, especially along the back and sides.
Tonally, the guitar is highly expressive. The trebles are delicate, melodic and lyrical, yet can rise with force when required, giving the instrument strong personality and emotional range. It is extremely easy to play, allowing nuanced control of tone and dynamic phrasing. With a consistent voice across all registers and fast, articulate response, this guitar lends itself to a wide variety of repertoire. Tuners are by Alessi, and the finish is traditional French polish.

Classical Guitars
The classical guitar, with its soft nylon strings and characteristic timbre, has become a symbol of chamber music, Spanish tradition, and concert repertoire. Its modern form was shaped by Antonio de Torres in the 19th century, setting the standard for the body, fan bracing, and the 65-centimeter scale length that are still used today. Instruments in this category open up a rich palette from the refined Romantic miniatures of Tárrega to the majestic concertos of Rodrigo. Here you will find guitars that preserve historical continuity and at the same time inspire new interpretations.Look all products of the collection -
