About Galileo Guitars
Galileo Guitars is a project entirely dedicated to the development of RS-style instruments.
It was founded in 2025 as the evolution of a journey that began in 2005, built through years of work on the Red Special and direct interaction with players.
The first instruments were built under the name CQuadro Guitars Works, later becoming Carpinteri Guitars in 2016. During this time, in 2013, a guitar was built for Brian May.
Over the years, the work developed in two directions: the construction of highly faithful replicas and the development of original instruments. From this dual path came the need to separate the two.
Galileo Guitars is the result of that decision: a project dedicated exclusively to RS-style instruments, created to focus more directly on this type of work.
Each model comes from consolidated experience and continuous development, with the aim of preserving the essential characteristics that define the instrument’s sound, while making it more accessible and consistent for modern players.
Galileo is not a closed project, but an evolving system, built on years of experience and designed to grow over time.
