About the Luthier:
Enrico Bottelli, based in Northern Italy, is regarded as one of the finest living classical guitar makers. Since 1989 he has crafted an extremely limited number of instruments each year, all fully handmade with meticulous attention to detail. His guitars are renowned for their refinement, tonal clarity, and projection, and they are played by leading professionals including Paolo Pegoraro, Xavier Jara, and Keith Rodriguez. Bottelli maintains a waiting list of over three years, and his guitars rarely appear on the market.
