Here we have another handmade instrument built by Nicholas Giordano. He continues to exceed in excellence. This Tributo '59 is #27 and has an amazingly full but comfortable neck profile. His finish work is of the finest that any builder is making today. From the "nibs", fret work, inlays, binding, body contours, neck angle to the nut...everything is absolutely perfect on this guitar.
I chose one of the plainest of the half dozen options Nicholas offered with a tight grain and he matched the top perfectly. As usual the finish is amazing and Nicholas chose the best materials. The plain ones sound better right? Haha!
It's extremely resonant and lightweight. I chose my favorite vintage correct hardware from Pigtail Music and the amazing Ron Ellis LRP pickups. Both made in the USA and are a perfect match for it. What an inspiring instrument to play.
I'm proud to carry this one and the other Girodanos with some of our own "Zeke" requests. Nicholas was more than accommodating and really made these guitars truly great. His guitars will continue to grow in demand and those in the know already get it. Get them while you can!
*The recent tariff increases unfortunately have increased the cost to import these fine instruments. We sincerely hope that this changes soon.
