Fabrizio Alberico

I'm not sure my parents knew it, but as soon as they named me, they created a woodworker. What else could I be, given that Fabrizio means "craftsman" and Alberico means "tree"? And since my Grandmother was a D’Addario of the famous string-making family, you could say I was destined to become a luthier.I am, by choice and by nature, a man who works best alone. I view the process of making instruments as a peculiar combination of art, science, and alchemy, and my yearly production is extremely limited. I tune each top to achieve a desired result, and all other components are selected and shaped to fit in with the original vision for the instrument. My total involvement in every step of the process, other than being personally gratifying, ensures that consistently excellent instruments are created, not just guitars.- Fabrizio Albericowww.albericoguitar.com
