The master guitar maker Mario Novelli was born in Florence, Italy, in 1926. He began working as a guitar maker at a very early age and can now look back on a long and successful career. The special thing about Mario Novelli is that he attaches great importance to making all the guitar components himself.
That is why he not only built and carved the head and body of the guitar, but also the machine heads and even the screws in painstaking and time-consuming work.
His attention to detail and the great effort he puts into each guitar eventually made him world famous. His guitars are played and recorded by great classical guitarists of the world, such as Bruno Giuffredi, professor at the Music Conservatory of NOVARA „Guido Cantelli“ Italy and G. Regondi of the Guitar Academy of Milan, Italy.
Marco Carta, Emanuele Addis and Davide Gemmo also play his outstanding instruments. Videos on You Tube show the outstanding virtuoso skills that these players demonstrate with Mario Novelli's guitars.
This very beautiful example was built in 1988 by Mario Novelli. The guitar was built with wonderful rosewood for the back and sides and a beautiful cedar top. The nut width is 52 mm and the scale length is 660 mm.
The guitar is light and powerful in sound, but balanced at the same time. It is a very successful instrument and the playability is very comfortable.
This guitar was made to meet the highest demands of concert guitarists. The instrument has a fast response, long sustain and an even sound balance across the entire fingerboard as well as excellent projection.
The tonewoods and all materials used are of the highest quality to produce the best possible sound.
Only a few traces of playing are visible and overall the instrument is in very good condition. A good case is included.
