Marco Lijoi is a Master luthier from Savigliano (Cuneo), specialized in building and repairing classical and acoustic guitars.
He became interested in the world of music as a child through the Suzuki method and later took classical guitar lessons. After graduating high school, he united his passion for wood and music attending a lutherie course taught by Master Aldo Illotta in Biella. The following year, he attended the “Civica Scuola di Liuteria di Milano” (City of Milan’s Civic school of Lutherie), where he studied the secrets of plucked instruments under the guidance of the best Italian masters of lutherie. While still studying, he started working collaborating with Salvi, a prestigious brand specialized in harps. Today, in his workshop, he designs and creates plucked instruments entirely by hand, while also providing fine tuning and repair services for electric guitars as well. Each instrument is built according to traditional techniques but using modern materials, and varnished with shellac in order to ensure the thickness and maximum brilliance of the wood.
