Giordano Veloce Aged All Gold (2025)

Finished at last: the first Giordano MEISTER EDE custom order for our shop.

We're an official dealer for the superb masterbuilt instruments from Giordano Guitars, handmade in Italy.

MEISTER EDE bought his first Giordano in 2023 and has been taken with the craftsmanship of this rising builder ever since. In 2024 we agreed terms and specified the first examples for Meister Ede Guitars.

Nicholas Giordano builds these on his own, and it isn't only his know-how in guitar building and vintage detail that goes into them — he's a very good player himself, which means his instruments hold up on sound and feel, and work properly for the hard-working musician out on tour.

Ede took delivery of his Semi Tributo custom order in early 2025, and it's remarkable how much passion you can feel in every single instrument. Nicholas started out building alarmingly good replicas before refining a shape language of his own into a superb range of models.

So here it is — the Giordano Custom Guitars Veloce in Aged All Gold. It leans towards the SG without copying it: its own thing, and familiar at the same time. A design you don't get tired of looking at, with something new to see from every angle.

The ageing stands out immediately — you rarely see work this authentic and charming. The colour is spot on, as are the fine details Nicholas works in, like the way the inlays appear to have “shrunk” the way they do on genuinely old vintage guitars.

If you can drag your eyes off the looks and onto the tone, what strikes you is how loud and resonant this 2.88 kg lightweight is. Selected timber and the best hardware, all of it matched up properly.

The neck has a perfect medium C running into a D and plays like butter. To get the resonance of that timber to the amp, Nicholas works closely with Sunbear on the pickups.

Please note: more examples from our first batch are on their way. Drop us a line and we'll happily look at what's still available and whether the colour and other details can still be adjusted to your taste. Consider what a guitar like this would cost from one of the big names and this counts as a bargain. It's worth every penny.
