Mirko Borghino Guitar Maker
My History
He graduated in 2000 with the highest marks at the Lutherie School of Milano presenting a reconstruction of the Gibson L-5 borrowed from Franco Cerri for which, in 2015 he made a Signature model. He divides his time between teaching lutherie and building commissioned instruments in his workshop in Desenzano del Garda (BS) Italy.
My Vision
“I believe that every high-end musical instrument should be made exactly like a tailor’s dress; Customized, not only to help the musician express himself at his best, but also to represent him 100% both acoustically and aesthetically. I wish the instruments I make were not only a means to turn an idea into music but also a source of inspiration for the music itself.”
My Guitars
No matter if it is acoustic or classical guitars, electric or archtop, the important thing is that they are a perfect fusion between his style, exquisitely Italian, and the dreams of ambitious musicians or sophisticated collectors. “I never wanted to limit my creativity by confining myself within a category or model. I always just tried to make instruments that would convey an emotion.”
Testimonials
John McLaughlin, Franco Cerri, Francesco Buzzurro, Maurizio Brunod e Simone Guiducci are just some of the guitarists who have entrusted Mirko with building a custom instrument.
