Ok, once again, let’s say it as it feels good: these Bacci are fantastic instruments !!!! For 2024, Bacci has introduced a new series of Baritone, with a scale of 28 inches, simply called Leonardo 28”, and this superb instrument in Bosco Green finish is a marvel that will develop your playing and push your musical boundaries. This instrument is the Leonardo 28” presented by Bacci Guitars during the Montreux MIGS in 2024 and has the most figured maple neck ever. Bruno Bacci, after spending more than three years researching and developing his first Leonardo Dual Output model, this time delivers an exceptional Baritone featuring a slightly shorter 28” scale. This baritone guitar was designed to push the boundaries of music by unleashing unconventional tones and inspiring creativity, while maintaining the highest levels of playability, beauty and quality.

This new Leonardo 28” model is killer, and our guitar is the guitar that Bacci built to market and present this new model in Europe in April 2024. Bruno Bacci told me he took his finest piece of figured maple to make the neck of this guitar, and there is no doubt that our instrument has spectacular woods!! One of the particularities of Bacci instruments can be enjoyed by making the Leonardo 28”resonate: the sound is uniform and equally powerful whether near the neck, on the back or on the front of the instrument. That’s crazy !!! The resonance and sound diffusion are balanced and all parts of the guitar resonate, both the neck and the alder body. This comes from the quality of the craftmanship, and Bruno Bacci listens to all the wooden parts of his guitars and assembles a top with a body, and then a neck with the complete body, according to the resonances of each of these elements. The results are astonishing, because you will have the impression of hearing the acoustic timbre of your Bacci guitar both near the neck and at the body of the instrument.

One of its most revolutionary features is the inclusion of a second output, exclusively dedicated to the bass pickup located on the baritone’s three bass strings. This innovation expands the sonic possibilities of the instrument, allowing for a much richer and deeper sound that opens up new playing techniques and artistic ideas. Experience complete immersion into unexplored musical realms with the Leonardo 28”. Although it uses the same six strings as a traditional guitar, this instrument offers a distinctive way of projecting sound.

Bruno Bacci designed all pickups in the Leonardo line in collaboration with Dreamsongs Pickups, an Italian company known for its exceptional manufacturing capabilities. For the Leonardo, Dreamsongs™ Pickups created a Dynasonic and Custom Bacci Modern pickups that capture the brilliance of the sound without sacrificing depth. They have also developed modern bass pickups that excel at capturing the sound of the fourth, fifth, and sixth strings for the instrument’s second output.

What inspired a second version of Bacci’s Baritone with this new 28” scale? The scale length allows for a wide spectrum of low frequencies. The 13/72 strings, supplied by DOGAL, a renowned Italian artisan string company, are finely tuned to complement these attributes. While the baritone guitar already has a lower register than a standard guitar, Bruno Bacci’s innovation has propelled this instrument to new heights in sound. By connecting the second output to a bass amp, the fourth, fifth and sixth strings resonate with a depth that mimics a bass guitar, amplifying both its volume and amplitude.

This instrument is a marvel of comfort and allows truly unique and super interesting registers. The beauty was therefore presented at the Montreux MIGS show at the end of April 2024. Bruno Bacci collected this instrument and completely prepared and checked it in his workshop in Tuscany, and delivered it to us in July 2024. The beauty was immediately sold and returned to us in summer 2025 (its owner chose another Bacci Baritone, with Olive top) in absolutely new condition and can boast of having the most flamed neck of all Leonardo 28”.

This used instrument is in new condition, no marks or traces, exactly as originally, and comes delivered with its original case and certificate of authenticity. This beauty comes with its original hardcase and certificate of authenticity.
