2018 Bagnasco & Casati D-18 Shaded Amber
No SN: Friends, Hard to find D-18 model from Bagnasco & Casati in a gorgeous amber finish. This big guy can compete with most of the finest artisan D-18s I’ve had in the shop. For those not yet familiar with Bagnasco & Casati (Savona, IT) they are small batch craftsmen building prewar and wartime reproductions using period-correct techniques, glues, finishes and tone woods. Every detail is handcrafted and meticulously executed. Their aesthetic sensibility produces gorgeous sunbursts and amber shade tops. This example is a reproduction 1936 D-18 with all the requisite features of that iconic model – forward-X scalloped bracing, ebony fretboard and bridge, rosewood head stock overlay, mahogany back and sides hot hide glue construction, and full-moon harvested Alpine spruce. The neck carving accurately reflects the profile and heft of 1934/35/36. The guitar is set up for mediums with medium low action. There are three small touch ups on the top where a second pick guard was removed. It has also picked up a small patch of new buckle wear on the back; Otherwise the guitar is in excellent condition. It’s a responsive player producing big tone with lots of headroom and growl. It’s super dynamic and capable of cutting a lead or playing a big full rhythm. I’m enjoying having it back. Ships with its original hard shell case that is showing a little wear.
On consignment.
