Giannini GWSCRA 12 Brazil Series Steel Craviola® Guitar (Acoustic, 12-String)

Giannini GWSCRA 12 Brazil Series Steel Craviola® Guitar (Acoustic, 12-String) Review



I allready own a professional model Giannini steel string Spruce and Indian Rosewood six string beatuty and I wanted a twelve string to complement it.The Bollivian Rosewood(Morado) wood is wonderfull with a nice bookmatched back and the spruce top is flawless.The back had a few voids in the stain and makes the new guitar look cheaper than it is.There were a few small dings in the headstick and the string set was not up to par with my ,000.00 (here at Amazon)model.I replaced the strings with D'Addarios and polished the back with Martin Guitar polish a few times and the increased shine made the back look better.Thge guitar plays very well as good as my Brazillian Washburn 12 string and my maple Sigma 12 string.All in all I am very satified with the guitar.7.00 with a soft gig bag and free shipping made this a good purchase I just wish that I could have had my pick of a few guitars to choose from.The odd shape makes this guitar very comfortable to play.

Giannini GWSCRA6 EL Handcrafted Series Steel Craviola® Guitar (Acoustic-Electric, 6-String)

Giannini GWSCRA6 EL Handcrafted Series Steel Craviola® Guitar (Acoustic-Electric, 6-String) Review



The first time I saw a Craviola was on a PBS fundraiser on TV. They were featuring artists and songs from the 70's, and the leader of the group "Starland Vocal Band" was using it on their song " Afternoon Delight". I was curious about the guitar he was playing so I started researching it. It took quite a while, but stumbled on the name & origins of the Giannini Craviola from Brazil. Every review was positive and mentioned the fact that the Craviola's unique shape definitely drew a lot of attention from the audience and musicians alike. When the price dropped to closeout prices on Amazon, I decided I couldn't pass up the opportuniy to try one out. What a shocker, the sound is extremely pleasant and the shape allows one to play it comfortable while sitting without a strap. I decided this would be my go to acoustic when performing. It has not let me down. The sound is bright with just enough bass. The setup was good and did not require any adjustment on arrival. If you're like me, and enjoy finding instruments out of the ordinary, you can't go wrong with a Giannini Craviola. Acoustic-electric 6-string, steel, Craviola® with B-Band 4 band preamp. Solid Sitka Spruce top, Pau-Ferro/Morado back and sides, gold plated machine heads and adjustable truss rod. Supplied with Giannini gig bag.
