Newbie here from Italy... Ciao!
Hi everyone, I really don't know if this is the right spot to do so but I wanted to say hi and introduce myself in this rather lively community!
I am Max, from Padova - Italy, and I dabble in guitar building with my brand Maxmonte Guitars. I now have a lineup of four guitar sizes, all named after rivers: the Roe, a soprano guitar tuned a to a the Thames, my take on a modern OM the Columbia, a grand auditorium the Danube, a big 17'' modern jumbo plus I have been bitten by the harp guitar bug and have made quite a few of those as well. I believe I met some of you @ Woodstock (definitely a few fellow builders) so I thought it would be cool to continue hanging out here! Have a good day everybody! Ciao, Max |

It was nice to be neighbors Max. Hope the rest of your visit is going well and don’t be a stranger.
For everyone else, Max builds some nice guitars at a great price point. He’s incredibly personable. I got to hear Stephen Bennett play his Maxmonte, and it was wonderful. Check out his stuff. |

Good to see you here, Max!
Sorry to miss you in Woodstock. Life intervened in the form of a bicycle ride from Boston to DC, a new book just out, and a presentation in DC. Folks, Max doesn't simply "dabble" in guitar making. He makes some of the finest guitars that I've had the privilege of playing.
