Sneak Peek: A New Valerio Licari Guitar Is Coming to GSI!

Italian luthier Valerio Licari, has shared with us a few sneak peek photos of his newest guitar which will be arriving at GSI very soon. This latest instrument features a spruce soundboard paired with stunning ziricote back and sides—a classic combination that promises both clarity and richness of tone.

Valerio continues to draw inspiration from his home country’s architectural heritage. As seen in the rosette and tie block design, this guitar pays homage to the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence. The intricate detailing echoes the elegance and geometric beauty of the cathedral’s façade.

The guitar is already complete, and we look forward to welcoming it to our showroom soon. In the meantime, check out some sneak peek photos below.
