Rinaldo Vacca 2023 No 310 torrefied cedar

This is an all-Italian lattice by a world-renowned master luthier building guitars with a pure traditional sound. For this guitar Rinaldo has used a torrified cedar top that has undergone a high-temperature firing process in an oxygen-free environment to clean the wood of impurities and make the top stiffer, more stable, and lighter, giving it the sound of a 50+-year-old top. The guitar is beautifully overdriven without carbon or balsa. Listen to the videos of Kanahi and KazuhitoYamashita, they chose to play on Rinaldo guitars, it’s simply

The guitar has a torrefied cedar top, a balsa-free and carbon-free cedar bracing, and Curupay back and sides lined with maple. Curupay, commonly known as Patagonian rosewood – Anadenanthera colubrina – is a dense wood of 1005kg/m3 (the density of Indian rosewood is 800kg/m3).

The torrefied top and the density of the Curupay offer a sound with more immediacy and probably more power.

The result is purely fantastic, with loudness and thickness of sound with crystal clear tones. Look at the headstock, it’s a beauty. The Rinaldo Vacca guitars are built with a lattice bracing, using cedar instead of balsa, and without the use of carbon. The sides are three-ply, the back is two-ply maple laminate, and the neck is cedar or mahogany. The fingerboard is Blackwood teak. The varnish is acrylic varnish and Exagon tuners with a custom design.
