Asturias is always the best testament when you need to put an instrument through the "acid test". Demanding passages, fast response and HUGE punch are badly needed when I play the Spanish classic. This cedar top is not only up to the task but it soon becomes my best ally during the performance. Amazing ! The strings are back under my fingernail with a n amazing speed and I am able to push the speed up by 20 on the metronome. The swift 640mm radiused action helps a lot and working in conjunction with the fast responsive sound, makes this instrument the "perfect type of guitar". She's simply beautiful ! Full of amazingly gorgeous artistic details that will entertain your eyes for many hours. An instrument for life !! |

| 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. 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?
