According to Mr Google & Wiki

Founded in 1900 in Sao Palo by an Italian immigrant http://www.gianniniguitars.com/

Those two do look rather nice, eBay suggests that they aren't all that expensive

I Had one in the 70's a 12 string was a lovely guitar, but here in Toowoomba QLD the humidity was too dry or something and some of the glue let go. took it back to the music shop and the refunded it.

I used to have a flouro orange semi acoustic Giannini Bass. I had to jump on the strings as the action was so high. It had a set neck. But it sounded great. Here's the website.

THE BEGINNING

In November 1900, a period full of hope and change had begun to spread throughout Brazil. Amid this environment filled with opportunities, the renowned Italian Luthier Tranquillo Giannini decided to bet all his chips on a dream of his: to set up an acoustic musical instruments factory in Brazil - a land he loved. His pioneering attitude sprouted successful results. The small factory named after his family grew so quickly that by the 30's start the musical string production to create more products that would be associated with the Giannini story that had begun to flourish.
GIANNINI TODAY

Today, the Giannini family continues to cultivate the teachings of their patriarch. All its current production and imported series of instruments combines Mr. Tranquillo efficient technique to craft the most modern industrial technologies. It is with this philosophy that the Giannini of today works. Our products undergo strict quality control and leave the factories instilled with credibility and care, maintaining the fame of this brand that dates back to 1900. And of course, upkeeping the Giannini family's most valuable mantra: your signature.

Thats heaps of info about the first guitar, the Gianini, but what about the second guitar... The Audition?

Audition was one of the many brands used by the Teisco company to sell guitars in the 60s/70s, but the font of the logo looks a little different and it looks too new. Any idea where it was manufactured?
