1967 DI GIORGIO AUTOR 3 SERIE ARTISTICA- Baden Powell Bossa Nova Guitar Model THIS IS THE SAME MODEL OF GUITAR GIVEN TO BADEN POWELL BY REINALDO DI GIORGIO TO PLAY IN 1959. MAESTRO BADEN PLAYED FOR 15 YEARS, AND GIFTED THAT TO DIETER HOPF. Angelo Del Vecchio(Est.1902), Tranquillo Giannini(Est. 1900), and Romeo Di Giorgio(Est. 1908) were all Italian immigrants to Brazil where they established their factories more than a century ago. Their businesses stand strong still today. Romeo Di Giorgio was an Italian immigrant to Brazil where in 1908, he opened his guitar shop. During that time he built guitars to Augustin Barrios Mangore(Paraguayan great composer and player) and a young Heitor Villa-Lobos(although, Villa-Lobos’s companionship was a French made guitar which resides at the Villa-Lobos museum in Rio de Janeiro today). Later in the late 50's and during the 60's, under the command of Reinaldo Di Giorgio, the company equipped the bossa nova movement with the best guitars at that time. Baden Powell played a 1959 Di Giorgio Autor 3 for 15 years. Joao Gilberto and Tom Jobim also played the Autor 3. Later, Joao Gilberto made famous the model Tarrrega by playing a 1970 one(contrary of what you read in the net, there's no 1965 Tarrega !). The Brazilian music greats other than Powell, Jobim, and Gilberto who played a Di Giorgio Guitar could fill a full page: Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, Nara Leao, Geraldo Vandre, and many others. Although this was a factory-made guitar, it was made by only 1 luthier. Guitar Specs Solid Spruce top - Clean and great condition. Some pic marks, dents- Finished in Shellac – French Polished Back/Sides Solid Jacaranda “Brazilian Rosewood"- Dalbergia Nigra -Back and Sides have side braces. Finished in Shellac – French Polish Back of headstock carved " Di Giorgio". Signed label inside Reinaldo Di Giorgio Scale: 640mm Nut: 52mm. Gives great string separation with a smaller scale. Tuners: High quality 18K Gold filing and white mother of pearl buttons. Excellent condition, like new precision Hardcase included Condition The guitar was professionally set and new LaBella 900(Same as Baden Powell used) strings put in The top is clean with a few dings due to pick playing! And please refer to the pictures. The frets and fingerboard are in excellent condition. The guitar just need a top player. The guitar itself This is a top notch bossa nova guitar with a regular thin top. The bass and trebles are balanced. The guitar can also sound loud while playing flamenco Medium projection sound for jazz and bossa nova. SHIPPING $60 STANDARD FREIGHT IN THE U.S. -EUROPE $ 200, EASTERN EUROP, PLEASE CHECK WITH ME.

RETURNS - 7 Days Return Policy I believe we develop a close relationship with all instruments we play. I consider that a "trial" period where I will provide you with 3 days to play the instrument, and notify that you want to return the instrument. In this case, the return would be on the next 4 days, for a total 7 days return policy. Both shipping and Return freight paid by buyer with purchase in the same condition which was shipped to buyer. It must be returned on the original packing unless damaged in which case I'd deal with the insurance.
