Born in Sicily in 1956, Giuseppe "Peppino" D'Agostino is a self taught musician who was inspired by legends like Paco de Lucia and Santana. His career started of as a street musician before later developing into a world-renowned recording artist and performer. He has also written numerous guitar instructional books and videos.
He is primarily known for his beautiful, understated melodies, as well as the explosive rhythms that he drums, taps and beats out of his guitar. Add to that a repertoire that requires a different tuning on almost every song and you have a man that demands a lot from his guitar.
Featuring a rosewood solid body topped with a solid spruce sound board, the Artist Peppino Signature model offers a delicious combination of tones that can be adapted to many different playing styles. Solid spruce is renowned for its powerful projective properties, and is a common choice for soundboards. Spruce delivers a crisp articulation and is particularly ideal for styles such as aggressive strumming, flatpicking and fingerpicking. As well as offering a great tone, spruce also features a distinctive blonde colour that contrasts beautifully with the dark rosewood body.
Equipped with a rosewood back and sides, the Artist Peppino Signature can achieve a versatile tonal range. Rosewood is common for delivering deep lows and throaty growls, yet also offers bright trebles with great clarity. Both tonewoods bring a great tone to this model, and gives it a versatile sound that any player will love.
Not only does the Peppino Signature CW provide an excellent projective tone acoustically, it is also equipped with the means to be amplified. The L.R. Baggs Element produces impressive body sensitivity and articulation. It also has the greatest dynamic range of any undersaddle pickup on the market. Controlling this element is easy with the discrete soundhole-mounted volume control for easy access. As well as providing superb amplification, this element maintains the traditional look of the guitar by being discreet and not taking away from the overall design, compared to guitars with sidemount EQs. Overall, your true sound is amplified, making it perfect for live performances and recording sessions.
Like others from the Seagull Guitars range, the Peppino Signature CW is complete with a Deluxe TRIC case. Manufactured from shock-absorbent, expanded polypropylene which offers unparalleled protection against everyday uses of a musician. TRIC stands for 'Thermally Regulated Instrument Case', and is crafted from the same material which is used to make bicycle helmets. Not only is it strong, but also offers protection against the elements, and can withstand extreme weather conditions. Weighing under 3.65 pounds, it features all the protection of a flight case at just a fraction of the weight. The Tric case wouldn't be complete without two shoulder straps to allow it to be carried over your shoulder or on your back.
Its plush interior holds the guitar in place, and even includes a convenient interior storage compartment for storage accessories. Finally, the case is finished off with a hermetically sealed tongue and groove fitting zip, that ensures the case is firmly secured.
