Description

You've known the Trovador for a long time; also our classical instruments, Cádiz and Sevilha. So, how about a line that combines the practicality of the first and the proven excellence of the second? The Ibéria guitar series arrive on the stores with double responsibility, therefore – and they are ready to face it head on. With solid Engelmann Pine top; Cedar sides, back and neck; Pau-Ferro fingerboard and satin finish, the Iberia guitars are what you need to further develop your musical skills side by side with Giannini. And evolving alongside our brand means being part, for 123 years, of the most authentic Brazilian tradition. Available in 6 and 7 strings models and also for left-handers; all with acoustic and electric versions.

The woods

Engelmann Spruce

Light color wood, with a smooth tone and excellent ressonance, whose strong point is the range of its frequencies, which favors picking and/or strumming dynamics. Preferably used in guitar tops, it is also used for harps, pianos and violins. A native tree of the United States, the Engelmann Spruce is also found in some areas of Canada, and grows only at altitude. Named after George Engelmann, a German botanist considered the discoverer of the species.

Pau-Ferro

Used in acoustic instruments and in the creation of fingerboards and bridges. It produces pieces with good sound, beautiful finishing and excellent sustain, with a brighter tone than Rosewood, but which manages to retain the warmth for which Rosewood is celebrated. Its color varies from light yellowish brown to brownish brown, with dark veins forming characteristic and exotic irregular designs. Known for its rigidity, moderately light and very durable, Pau-Ferro is found in Goiás, Minas Gerais, Espírito Santo, São Paulo and Paraná states.

Brazilian Cedar

Widely used in solid instruments, due to its lightness and stability. The sound provided by Brazilian Cedro is characterized by a deeper and velvety tone, excellent bright definition (as it is not very resinous), good projection and sustain. Natural wood from open forests and fields with a hot/humid climate, widely distributed in the North region, mainly in the states of Acre, Amapá, Amazonas, Pará and Rondônia. It has low density, medium to thick texture, pinkish-beige color, and veins forming smooth regular designs.
