Aged, Highly figured  Brazilian rosewood B&S, Doble tapa (Contreras style VARIATION 1)  Cedar top Masterpiece! MAPLE bindings, 16" radiused ebony fingerboard, violin tie, armrest & bridge. 640mm fret spacing. Embossed leather case included.  SPECTACULAR !
I cannot think of a better instrument to deliver a full bright sound, ideal for Classical music than this amazing Cedar double top. Asturias sounds wonderful when I play it on this double Cedar top. I feel that the sound capability is endless. Fast response, aggressive bass, penetrating trebles...  What a presence !! The sound changes immediately to every slight change in the angle of attack of the right hand fingers. The phrasing becomes spontaneous and this is quite a challenge to achieve in a piece like Asturias. Everything is natural when performed on this beautiful guitar. I indulged in every Bellucci guitar construction enhancement to make her BEAUTIFUL to both the ear and the eye. The Set of Brazilian rosewood is approximately 94 years air dried. It has some wonderful flame that resembles a wild puma. The 2 cedar tops vibrate creating a punch and sustain you will not believe. Maple bindings, luxury trims and amazing detailing. Playing this concert is easy. The action is set at 3.5 mm and can be lowered if your playing requires so. She's tremendously easy to play and the left hand ever becomes tense which will allow you to minimize mistakes and play for much longer stretches of time.

The double top VARIATION 1, was developed and introduced by  Master Luthier Manuel Contreras the II at the end of the 70s and reached its peak in the 80s. In this Variation of the Double top, a second top (Cedar, Image below) is located halfway between the main top and the back. This top vibrates a fraction of a second after the first one creating an immense sustain and punch.

The hand embossed leather case is a work of art on its own right. Built by one of a handful of very talented leather embossers in Latin America. Its built following my specifications for the interior to fit Bellucci guitars like a glove. All Plush interior, key and accessories compartment. You can request an upgrade to a Cow hive front and back version.

Radiused or flat fingerboard?
radiused
The radiused fingerboard has been around the acoustic and the electric guitar since day one. The same is true for most instruments of the Stringed family of instruments (violas, violins cellos, bass). Radiusing (image above) makes barre and left hand stopping A LOT easier. The only drawback is that you will NEVER want to play a  flat fingerboard after that. If you are having your custom guitar built, I am all pro radiusing the fingerboard.
