Gary Rizzolo, based in Melbourne, has been a passionate figure in the music industry since the mid-sixties. With a Diploma of Teaching from TCAE and a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from the University of Tasmania, Gary combines his educational background with over 40 years of experience as a Master Instrument maker and Craftsman. His commitment to building instruments of the highest quality is evident in every detail of his builds, and this SJ Custom guitar is a perfect choice for discerning players seeking a blend of premium materials and masterful craftsmanship.
The Gary Rizzolo SJ Custom 'Bear Claw Sitka Spruce / American Black Walnut' guitar, preowned from 2013, is a testament to master craftsmanship and premium materials. Featuring a stunning Bear Claw Sitka Spruce soundboard, complemented by the rich tones of American Black Walnut back and sides. The attention to detail is evident with Indian Rosewood binding and headstock veneer, ensuring both aesthetic beauty and durability. Equipped with Sperzel locking tuners and a florentine cutaway, this guitar not only looks exquisite but also offers superior playability and tuning stability. The Mi-Si undersaddle active pickup system ensures that the guitar's natural acoustic tone is faithfully amplified.
It's in fantastic condition too, with only minor polishing swirls and a lovely medium action which lends itself beautifully to fingerstyle or light strumming, with a clear, chimey and silky tone with lush overtones and harmonic complexity. Included with the guitar is a Hiscox flight case, providing top-tier protection for this exceptional instrument.
