Bacci Guitars

Two shapes. Different souls.

Colour out of a car garage, Italian graphics from the seventies, or no finish at all.

Bacci Officina officina, handbuilt in Pescia, Tuscany
01Officina

Colour from the road.

Officina takes its colours and its materials from the garages where Italian cars of the nineties are kept alive: vivid, lacquered, built to be looked at. Two lines of instruments, handmade in Tuscany and played from funk to metal to fusion, chosen by Cory Wong, Matteo Mancuso, Munky of Korn and Tim Lefebvre.

Velvet
Deep, and it swallows the light
Satin
Smooth, and it asks for nothing
Radiance
Iridescent, it shifts as you move
The nineties
Italian cars, and the garages they live in
Instruments

Officina, on two instruments

The same paint booth on a bass and on a baritone. Same colours, same three textures, two instruments.

An idea that has never existed before
Bass or baritone
The same design on both

Bacci Art of Nature art of nature, handbuilt in Pescia, Tuscany
03Art of Nature

Fine natural wood.

A tribute to the natural beauty surrounding Bacci’s Tuscan farm, this line of Baritones is Bacci’s way of expressing gratitude to the unparalleled art of the nature. This line is focused on a composition of voids and solids (wood) arranged so that the instrument delivers the full frequency range with increased resonance while maintaining minimal weight.

Four woods
Maple, olive, walnut and spruce
Respiro
Or Soffio, two ways to open the body
Dual output
Guitar amp and bass amp at once
Baritone only
This collection lives on the Leonardo

Respiro and Soffio

Authentic sound with fine wood beauty on display. Two ways to let the body breathe. Respiro and Soffio are the two versions of the Art of Nature baritone, and the wood decides the rest.

Bacci Soffio Soffio
Woods

Choose your wood

Born from the landscape surrounding Bacci’s Tuscan farm, four woods give the same instrument four different expressions of nature: maple, olive, walnut and spruce.

Bacci Maple Maple
Bacci Olivo Olivo
Bacci Walnut Walnut
Bacci Spruce Spruce
No paint.
No filler.
Nothing between
your hand and the wood.
Wood that is still alive

Matteo Mancuso played the Olivo at NAMM. It is the same idea underneath: take everything off the instrument until only the wood is left talking.

Before the first note

They are three ways of finishing the same instruments, not three different instruments. Officina is colour, deep lacquers borrowed from the car world. Parato is Italian graphic design of the seventies, printed on the body. Art of Nature is no finish at all: the wood is left bare. Underneath, the bass is the same bass and the baritone is the same baritone.

Gloss reflects the room and shows every fingerprint. Satin scatters the light, feels drier under the hand and hides wear. An iridescent finish carries flakes or pigments that shift colour depending on where you stand and where the light comes from. On a Bacci they are called Velvet, Satin and Radiance.

Far less than the internet says, and not nothing. A very thick finish can damp the top slightly, which matters on a hollow body and hardly at all on a solid one. What the finish really changes is how the instrument feels in your hands and how it ages.

That nothing opaque sits between your hand and the wood. No paint, no filler covering the grain. The wood keeps moving, marking and darkening with the years, the way an unpainted piece of furniture does. It asks a little more care and it gives back an instrument that looks used because it has been.

Yes. Nothing is in stock and nothing ever will be: every instrument is claimed by one player before the first cut, and colour, wood, pickups and finish are decided one by one with Bruno. Eight months from the closed specification, it is in your hands.
