Hi,
My very wonderful friend just had a bit of a windfall and bought me a guitar I have been drooling over for a few days in the second hand store..
It isnt real pretty..looks like its been repaired.. but it sounds divine..warm rich tones..it sounds like I always expect red wine should taste (but rarely does) Sweet, Rich and Deep. (I am very in love with him..even if hes old and battered :D )
I would like to know a little bit more about him his name is Roger De Paulo.. (I name all my guitars.. :oops: )
he has a sticker inside that reads: Di Giorgio Classic guitar made in brazil, year 1975, model classico no28.
he also has a signature on the back of the head and an unusual patterned wood on the back.
If anyone knows anything about these guitars I would love some info.
:D Im off to try him out some more..he has such a lovely action..blah blah.. (L) sigh.. Im in love again lol
I tried a google search but didn't find much. You might want to try and look through it all...

Hint: on Google put "Di Giorgio" in quotes, and then the word guitar. A good many hits come up, some of which look useful. I didn't read 'em all.
Try doing the same without the space in "Di Giorgio," i.e. DiGiorgio. Might pick up a few more.

I did the suggested searches..also a few on other search engines before I posted here..and I also emailed the company in Brazil to ask if the could give me any details about the guitars history.. no reply yet.
I was hoping there may have been an avid brazilian guitar buff lurking around the list who might have a clue for me.
Thanks for searching and for the info 8)
Bright Blessings
