biography

Giulio negrini

In this special biography episode of Life With Strings Attached, master luthier Giulio Negrini shares his journey from a childhood filled with fantasy and classical training in Italy to founding GNG Guitars. Discover how imagination, craftsmanship, and resilience shaped one of the boutique guitar world’s most distinctive artistic voices.

“At one point, I was on stage playing for hundreds of people, and I realized I felt nothing. What I really wanted was to be alone at the bench, shaping wood into something meaningful. That’s when I knew—I was meant to build guitars, not just play them.” – Giulio Negrini

“…EVERY GNG GUITAR IS NOT JUST AN INSTRUMENT BUT A COLLABRATIVE ART PIECE…”

Giulio Negrini, with styled hair and a slight beard, holding a guitar neck on his shoulder, smiling at the camera, in a workshop or studio setting.

  • Giulio earned his Master Luthier’s degree in 2007 from the prestigious Violin and Bow Making School in Gubbio, Italy, where he was trained in the classical “Cremonese” techniques of Stradivarius, Guarneri, and Amati. His expertise extends beyond traditional violin-making, having honed his skills in specialized seminars on violin restoration (Adam Whone), archtop guitar techniques (John Monteleone), and inlay artistry (William "Grit" Laskin).

    An accomplished guitarist himself, Giulio’s experience as a hard-rock musician gives him a unique perspective on player needs, informing his focus on exceptional playability, smooth neck profiles, and ergonomic designs.

    His instruments often feature bold aesthetics, including themed custom inlays, multi-scale fretboards, extended range configurations, and hi-gloss finishes. Each guitar is tailored to the player's specifications, with hand-wound pickups, premium hardware, and a curated selection of rare, high-grade tonewoods.

    Giulio is a proud member of the European Guitar Builders Association, NAMM, and the Boutique Guitar Showcase. He has crafted over 300 instruments, yet remains deeply committed to continual learning, drawing inspiration from woodworking traditions and artistic innovation.

    For Giulio, every GNG guitar is not just an instrument but a collaborative art piece, reflecting the shared vision between maker and player. His passion for perfection and dedication to the craft make GNG a name synonymous with exceptional quality and artistry in the world of modern guitar-making.
