R.I.P. Andrea Rivolta, Master of the woods

n385-gAndrea Rivolta is died after a short battle against cancer.

With his brother and sister he founded “Riwoods”, the paradise of luthiers: every kind of woods from all over the world, every “Machi Cigar Box Guitar” is built with his woods, and I’d like to think that in all my guitars it will be a little bit of his soul.

He used to say:”Ah! Do you need woods for your shit guitars?” lol!

R.I.P.  thank you and fight the woodworms from the sky!

“Ramon Allones”

Hi Friends!

Today I’ve finished a prototype of a CBG with violin elements, it’s name is “Ramon Allones”.

I’ve put tuning pegs and tailpiece in mahogany neck, the amplification is a piezo trasducer under the bridge, without volume pot.

The sound is very cool and similar to a Banjo.

Tuning this instruments and change the strings is an hard work, but when you are “around” your tone (for example, you want a “D” but you are in “Eb”) you can use fine regulation on tail bridge.

So, it’s a prototype, a good prototype and it’s very cheap.

I suggest it for a “pro” guitarist.
