Giannini classicals were very popular during the Great Folk Music Scare. I don't know if it was due to quality or availability, but I suspect the latter based on the ones I remember from the 60s. As always, it's important to play the guitar if you can, and don't let the Brazilian rosewood bowl you over. Brazilian is good stuff, but it won't make a weak guitar sound good or increase its value.

The Giannini name was revived recently, but I don't think it has much to do with the original.
