Guitar Repair originates from the long lasting friendship and common passion for guitar of Alessio Casati and Andrea Bagnasco. We have been guitar buddies since 1995 and we are still around today, back to plain lutherie after our years-long tenure in Dino's Guitars.
Dino's Guitars has been an exciting project, which has seen us setup a small business for the manufacture and sale of electric guitars, guitar cabs and guitar effect pedals (all of proprietary, original design), in conjuction with a local social co-op, aimed at the employment of disabled people, convicts on probation, people with addiction problems. Products that had national and international exposure and acclaim.
Unfortunately quality isn't always bringing success in business, especially in full recession years as have been 2007/08/09. Which caused the social co-op to decide to quit the Dino's Guitars business, leaving us two with the decision of either taking Dino's completely upon ourselves, or turning everything around and simply starting to offer what the market has been asking us for years: expert, top quality restoration and repair services for guitars (acoustic and electrics) and stringed instruments in general.
Out of our years-long experience in the business and acquaintance and years long knowledge, research and practice on American vintage guitars, we offer our repair services to all Italian and European customers that up until yesterday had very little choice for servicing their prized instruments, other than a very few, very busy European craftsmen, or having to deal with shipping overseas to the US, with all related risks, costs and hassle.
We bring the materials and techniques of the great American guitarmaking tradition to our workbench, on the seafront of the Ligurian Gulph.
