Enrico Piretti - 1970
Overview
Overview
The 1970 Enrico Piretti guitar is a testament to the master craftsmanship of one of Italy's most revered luthiers, active from the 1950s to the 1990s. Enrico Piretti, best known for his exceptional violins and classical guitars, poured his heart and soul into this instrument.
The carved headstock immediately captures one's attention, a tangible display of Piretti's unparalleled skills as a craftsman. The spruce soundboard, gracefully adorned with a subtle ring rosette, reveals a taste for simplicity and elegance. This is perfectly complemented by the back and sides crafted from premium Indian rosewood, known for its rich tonal qualities.
While the guitar boasts an exquisite design and outstanding build quality, it also tells a life story. Minor playing wears are visible on the soundboard, giving it character and authenticity. The Indian rosewood back reveals three superficial cracks, which are strictly surface level and remain stable, bearing witness to the guitar's journey through time.
A protective lacquer finish envelops the entire guitar, ensuring its resilience against playing wear and preserving its beauty for the years to come.
For aficionados and enthusiasts alike, this Enrico Piretti guitar offers the experience of owning an instrument of supreme quality and a slice of history. And remarkably, this historical treasure is available at a price that makes it accessible to many. A rare opportunity indeed!

Classical Guitar
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 -
