1989 Di Giorgio Guitar Author 3 – Professional model –
Retailed by the “ Guitarra de Prata” a retailer in Rio that sold musical  instruments for 121 years.

Di Giorgio guitars are made in Brazil since 1908, by one of
the 3 Italian immigrant families dedicated to musical instruments building: Del
Vecchio, Giannini, and Di Giorgio.

The great classical Paraguayan composer and player Agustin
Barrios Mangore played one specially made for him

Brazilian guitar great Baden Powell played the same model

Luthier custom made series

·        
Fora de Série
(Custom ordered made by 1 luthier)

The professional series are factory guitars made by 1
luthier after the wood and materials are cut to assure the quality. These are
made in house, and unlike the Ramirez lower level guitars that are outsourced
to other factories.

I bought the guitar used, and the guitar has scratches. I
fixed a chip on the back, and repaired what was a beginning separation on the
top biding (it did not actually unglued, I just reinforced) as expected. The
action has been adjusted on the nut, and at the 12th fret(measured
the distance from the top of the fret to the lower part of the string)  is 4mm on E(6th) to E(1st). High quality golden tuners with perloid buttons function perfectly.

Top: Solid Canadian Spruce

Sides and bottom: Laminated Brazilian Rosewood

Fretboard:  Indian
Ebony

Scale: 640mm

Nut:  52mm(Newer
models are 50mm)

Action: 4mm on 12th fret at both 1st
and 6th string
