and lower bout. Embossed leather case included! GORGEOUS!
It is extremely rare to come up with a tremendously powerful instrument that at the same time produces a sweet sound such as the one produced by this redwood cutaway. Amazing power and response. I used Barrios' Una limosna por el amor de Dios to bring out this peculiar characteristic. A small change in the angle of attack will bring about an immediate change in the type of sound. The Brazilian rosewood is originally from Cascavel (Brazil) and has been air drying for over 90 years. A fabulous tap tone that promised to transform in the amazing guitar she is. Redwood adds a series of very interesting colors to the sound which are usually lacking in Spruce or Cedar. Great care in creating every detail and a finish that will keep you admiring this Queen for long stretches of time. A true JEWEL ! |

| 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. Lattice delivers a lot of volume a tremendous clarity. 640 mm Scale lenght
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?
