A striking and highly refined concert instrument from Italian luthier Roberto Pozzi, this REG (Roma Expo Guitars) Special Edition model represents a clear evolution in both design and performance.
Crafted with a spruce soundboard, paired with ebony back and sides and a beautiful flamed maple neck, this guitar is instantly distinctive—an elegant masterpiece by one of Italy’s foremost luthiers.
This is the very model showcased at Roma Expo Guitars 2026, and demonstrated by Edith Pageaud—an instrument that drew much attention for its clarity, projection, and musical poise. Having personally tested the 30 guitars available in Rome this year, this guitar stood out as one of the most lyrical, expressive and refined guitars on offer.
At the heart of this guitar is Pozzi’s new 5-strut bracing system, a notable development from his earlier 7-strut design. Having had the rare opportunity to play both versions side by side in Rome, the difference is immediately apparent:
- Greater responsiveness under the right hand
- Cleaner, more focused tone across the register
- Enhanced separation and articulation, particularly in complex textures
- Harmonically open, richer, more immersive tone
The result is a guitar that is both precise and expressive—capable of delivering refined lyrical lines while maintaining control and clarity in more demanding repertoire. This guitar has a voice that is clean, musical, and beautifully poised—well suited to players seeking definition and clarity whilst retaining good overall warmth and the delightful intimacy often associated with fan braced guitars.
This REG Special Edition is not simply a cosmetic variation on a previous model, but a thoughtfully developed concert instrument that reflects Roberto Pozzi’s continued refinement as one of Italy’s best guitar makers.

“I taught Ed Peczek (Director of Classical Guitar Academy) whilst he was a student at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. He is a fine musician and guitarist with a keen musical insight. Ed is a young man of real integrity who will offer unbiased advice on purchasing a quality instrument. I can think of no one better equipped to direct a centre such as Classical Guitar Academy.”

“Just received an Amalio Burguet 2M by mail. Arrived, beautifully packed, in superb condition. After tuning had my first acquaintance with it. Lovely tone which I am sure will improve with playing time. Turned the instrument over in my hands for close inspection. First-rate construction under superb high-gloss finish. Thanks for swift supply & responses via email.”

“Been playing guitar since I was 15 (am now 59), bought my first classical guitar in 1985 and recently decided I needed a better one. After some discussion with Ed at the Classical Guitar Academy about all things guitaristic (Ed is very knowledgeable and always enthusiastic) I tried a few of the guitars Ed had in stock. I knew what I was looking for and Ed understood what I was looking for and I have ended up with a superb Antonio Sanchez guitar. I had also tried a few guitars in a few of the mainstream shops but did not get anything like the help and advice I got from Ed – he understands what it’s all about!”
