Personal comment
Here, I would like to add one more great player, Mr. Anthony Glise, who in fact introduced and recommended this guitar personally to me. He himself owns 4 Giussanis.
Well, this particular Giussani guitar is named "Ramdal" (Mr. Giussani puts name on each of his guitar, instead of serial numbers). It has a smooth but sweet sound, and very balanced. Definetely not a Spanish sound! Very rich in tone colors. One more outstanding feature is its long sustain. Playibility and craftmanship are superb. I didn't feel tired playing with this guitar for many hours.
As they say: "Nothing is perfect in this world", this guitar was not very responsive, which honestly quite annoyed me. Maybe I needed to be more patient to get it played in and then expect it to be more fast-attack, but I did not that much patience. Soon I began to analyze the root of this slow response, and I concluded the answer must have been the thick back/sides.
I wondered how the sound of a Giussani is, with a lighter material for back/side like maple. This big question and curiousity lead me to selling this guitar to acquire a new Giussani with birds-eyed maple back/side, which became my second Giussani. For further information about this guitar, please also check Mr Giussani's personal website.
