Steve Toscano Guitars

Steve studied the art of guitar making under the tutelage of master luthier Strato Anagnostis, learning what makes a fine and outstanding instrument, before further developing his skills and a thorough understanding in modal tuning and resonant frequencies from Trevor Gore.

Steve’s focus is on Classical, Flamenco and Acoustic guitars blended with modern techniques and aspects to make a highly responsive, aesthetically pleasing, and tonally exquisite handmade guitar.

Creating an acoustic guitar rosette

I created a guide on how to create Acoustic Guitar rosettes from scratch out of Rosette sticks.

You can grab the guide here:

I also created an Excel Spreadsheet to help you design the rosette and calculate the mount of sticks to use.
