Masetti was founded in 1900 by brothers Romolo and Primo Masetti in Modena, Italy as a plucked instrument manufacturer specialising in guitars. By the 1930s Primo's sons Renzo and Walter had joined the company. Walter's son Roberto joined in 1951 and by 1980 he was running the workshop after all the other family members had retired. In 1999, after nearly 100 years in business, the Masetti workshop was closed.
