hi ya all, recently i purchased (thanks to aja's good thinking to bring these to my attention) two Brazillian handmade nylon string guitars........ both by Di Giorgio , and both the same model one from 1972 and the other from 1974............ the labels are signed and dated and they guitars meant for bossanova/samba style but make fabulous all round nylons which sound good for latin/classical/cuban/african/flamenco even ......... they have ever so slightly smaller tops.......which one really only notices when you put it in a classical sized guitar case....... but they about a full cm if not more deeper than standard classical guitars.............
anyway i just shot some video ........only 40 seconds and 50 seconds each just to demo this guitar ................ this is using the 1974 Di Giorgio it has wild olive back and sides and believe it or not an oregan pine top( all Di Giorgio guitars right thru the range had oregan pine tops except one moel that had a cedar top) i love this guitar and the tone is what i adore............rich and warm ...........
i recorded this with the zoom Q3 camera (which has stereo condenser mic) and simply played unplugged in the room no editing or mastering to the sound so the sound you hear is the sound of the guitar acoustically .........
btw this vid cam(zoom Q3) has great sound and impresses me with it's ease of use.............
also my family of guitars in my current collection are behind me........... from left of the video as you see it ...... a 70's japanese built classical no makers name available, then to the right of that is the other Di Giorgio the 1972 model , to the right again is a guitar thats my main gig guitar and fitted with LR baggs my original pawn shop find a Yamaha G120 dating sometime from 1967 - 1974) then next to that is a yamaha G 225 also fitted with LR baggs i beam pickup dating from 1978 - 1981 and then of course i'm playing the 1974 Di Giorgio ...............which is destined for a visit to the guitar guy to get an LR baggs ibeam fitted as soon as next week or soon as i get time
i love this guitar ........ virtually exactly what i been seeking for a while and a great history/vibe included in it too.check out the carved headstock
btw both pieces played are original compositions of mine .......
