About the luthier
Siccas Luthiers is a brand established by brothers Mirco and Manuel Sicca, shaped by their lifelong dedication to the classical guitar. Inspired by their late father Mario Sicca, a distinguished soloist, professor at the Stuttgart Musikhochschule, and passionate luthier, their vision continues a family legacy rooted in deep musical and artisanal commitment. Drawing from their experience with Siccas Guitars, one of the world’s foremost dealers of fine hand-made instruments, the brothers created Siccas Luthiers to offer guitars that reflect the same high standards of tone, craftsmanship, and aesthetic quality. The designs are developed in-house, informed by the insights of a close-knit team of luthiers and professional guitarists.
About the guitar
The Siccas Luthiers Legacy Doubletop embodies a modern German double top ideal. This model aims to deliver the smooth, darkly hued trebles and velvety projection that many guitarists associate with iconic performers. Voiced with a clear emphasis on warmth and balance, the instrument offers a uniquely rich response even under imperfect nail conditions, consistently producing rounded, sonorous tones. Its immediate response and excellent dynamic range make it particularly rewarding under the fingers, offering an exceptionally forgiving yet expressive playing experience. The guitar’s power is striking, one of the loudest double tops available, yet its volume is always shaped by musicality and control.
The Legacy model is entirely finished in French polish, the enduring standard of high-end classical guitar making, bringing out the tonal depth and visual elegance of the woods. It is supplied with a sleek, black fiberglass case that complements the instrument’s understated aesthetic.
The cedar version has a dark, rounded voice with remarkable weight and character. Its tonal core is full and satisfying, capable of filling large spaces with ease. Trebles are especially lyrical and refined, reacting quickly to the right-hand attack and allowing clear articulation even at pianissimo levels. The instrument supports an impressive dynamic range and gives the player full control over colour and expression, well suited to repertoire across all periods.

Regular care extends the life of the instrument
Even with careful use, a classical guitar may gradually change in appearance or respond to unstable storage conditions. Have a close look at your guitar regularly and be attentif to changes. If your instrument is suffering from its environement, it will let you know.
Protect Your Guitar: Handle with Care
Be mindful when touching your instrument with greasy or unwashed hands: any skin contact is a small attack on the varnish. Of course, a guitar is made to be played, but taking a few precautions helps preserve its beauty: wash your hands before playing, wear long sleeves, and avoid unnecessary direct skin contact with the body of the instrument.
Pro tip: Avoid playing with a button-up shirt, heavy jewelry, or a belt, as these can scratch the guitar. Also, make sure your guitar case is free of any objects that could damage the instrument during storage.
String care
A good habit to adopt is wiping down your strings briefly after each playing session. This small action significantly extends their lifespan and helps maintain a consistent, comfortable feel under your fingers.
Most importantly, clean strings are essential for keeping your instrument in tune. Corrosion, sweat, and dust can affect the uniformity of the strings and interfere with accurate tuning across the entire fingerboard.
Pro tip: If you're having trouble getting your guitar in tune, it might be time to change the strings. A useful test is to compare the pitch of the 12th fret harmonic with the fretted note at the 12th fret; if there's an unusually large gap between them, your strings may have lost their integrity and should be replaced.
Keep Your Shellac Finish Shining!
Got a guitar with a shellac (French polish) finish? Here's a simple trick: Take a clean microfiber cloth and gently breathe on the surface to create a light mist. Then, softly rub to remove fingerprints, sweat, and grease. That’s usually all it takes to keep it looking great, no products needed!
Pro tip: Every few years, treat your guitar to a check-up with a luthier to keep it in top shape.
Storing Your Guitar: Climate Matters
Your guitar can safely stay outside its case, as long as the surrounding environment maintains 42–55% humidity and a temperature between 18–25°C.
Keep in mind that humidity levels can still fluctuate inside the case, especially during seasonal changes.
- Too much humidity may cause overtightened strings and a dull tone.
- Too little humidity can lead to a bulging top, string buzz, or even cracks.
Avoid placing your guitar near radiators, air conditioners, or windows with direct sunlight.
Pro tip: Always close your guitar case while playing. This helps preserve a stable microclimate inside the case, so your instrument is protected the moment you put it back in.
