You must hear and see the sample video I made of this Lattice braced Cedar top babe so as to give her a fair chance. All my words to describe the poignant basses, the clear trebles and balanced voices will fall short in trying to describe her. The 90+ years aged Rosewood back and sides from Minas Gerais (Brazil) have been complemented by a lattice braced cedar top. Decorating her was done thinking of the most beautiful princess. A Spanish inspired Handmade Russian rosette coupled by luxury marquetry details like the ebony bindings, the decorated bridge and attention and beauty to elevate every little spot to the maximum possible beauty. I always stress this truth: A guitar must sound beautiful and MUST look beautiful. This Cedar top beauty fulfills both requirements with flying colors. |

| The doble tapa, was developed
and introduced by Master Luthier Manuel Contreras the II at the end
of the 70s and reached its peak in the 80s. The word "Tapa" in Spanish
translates to top in English but it refers to the back of the instrument.
Therefore, Contreras doble tapa is actually a "Double back".
The lattice is a concept based on the A frame of grand pianos. The back and sides are kept rigid by means of a sturdy A shaped frame and the top is thinned as much as possible to allow the top to vibrate generously. As you see from the picture above, the thinned area is approximately 1.2 mm thick (VS 2-2.5 in the standard thinning techniques). Lattice delivers a lot of volume (approximately 21 dbs more) and wonderfully clear trebles. Radiused or flat fingerboard?
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. 640mm or 650 mm?
