Siccas Luthiers - Recital Contemporary Doubletop Lattice Spruce

About the luthier

Siccas Luthiers was founded by brothers Mirco and Manuel Sicca, who have dedicated their lives to the art of classical guitars, inspired by their late father Mario Sicca. Mario excelled not only as a soloist, but also as a respected professor at the Stuttgart Musikhochschule, and as a passionate luthier and collector. His deep love for the instrument continues to guide their vision. Rooted in the experience behind Siccas Guitars, a reference for hand-made instruments by the world’s finest luthiers past and present, Mirco and Manuel set out to create guitars that reflect the same high standards of sound, aesthetics, and craft. This vision led to the creation of Siccas Luthiers, a project shaped by unique designs developed in-house by a team of experienced luthiers and players.

About the guitar

The “Recital Contemporary” is a double-top concert guitar developed within the Siccas Recital model line. This version features a spruce outer top with a nomex core and a cedar inner layer. The result is a voice with greater brilliance and a vibrant, singing quality, supported by excellent sustain and projection. The lattice bracing, made entirely of wood, ensures clarity and responsiveness while maintaining structural lightness. A soundport on the upper bout improves the player's acoustic feedback and supports tonal control.

The spruce top enhances the instrument’s versatility, making it well-suited to a wide stylistic range. Trebles are bright, clear, and lively, while the instrument as a whole retains superb clarity for polyphonic repertoire. With a thoughtful tonal approach, it responds with lyrical sensitivity, offering expressive depth shaped by the player’s intent. It is a highly adaptable concert guitar that balances power, nuance, and dynamic range with elegance.
