Product information

A Yanuziello is something else entirely - unique, gorgeous, master luthier quality, tone-filled, and effortless to play. Sound good? It's great, trust us.

From the moment you pick up a Yanuziello, something registers that's difficult to articulate but impossible to ignore. The quality is immediate and obvious, as is the weight - or more accurately - the lack of it. These are instruments that feel alive before you've played a single note.

This particular example is a especially compelling one. A mahogany top, Bigsby tremolo, mother of pearl diamond-shaped fingerboard inlays, and custom fluted ivoroid volume and tone knobs - every detail considered, nothing left to chance. That level of attention to craft runs through every aspect of Joe Yanuziello's work, and it shows in the playing experience as much as the appearance.

The Fralin/Yanuziello single coil pickups are central to what makes these guitars so musical. Articulate, nuanced, warm, and genuinely complex in a way that rewards extended time with the instrument. The tonal range is broader than you might expect - glassy, Frisell-esque cleans on one end, swampy, loose-bottomed pushed blues tones on the other, and a wealth of usable territory in between. It's the kind of range that keeps you reaching for the guitar rather than putting it down.

There's a particular trap that instruments built to this level of precision can fall into - the pursuit of perfection at the expense of soul. Joe's guitars avoid it entirely. These are deeply musical, characterful instruments with genuine heart in them. Every time we get fifteen minutes alone with one, we find ourselves playing things we didn't know we had in us.
