Certified FSC Guitar

This is the first artisan guitar which received the FSC certification. The idea of making an eco-friendly guitar came – almost as a challenge –from my friend Gianni Cantarutti. He is a wood-expert and works for the Culturalegno organization.<br /> In the world of guitar making, luthiers often use wood coming from rare or endangered species, such as ebony or rosewood. With this guitar we wanted to send a message: we wanted to show that it is possible to make high-quality instruments without damaging the environment, using wood from sustainably-managed forests. This guitar now belongs to Gianni Cantarutti’s Xylotheqe in San Giovanni al Natisone (Ud).
