The minute I felt the amazing punch on this spruce top, I thought of Asturias. The relentlessly moving bass line calls for a well defined contrasting treble string. This babe delivers. As the melody moves to the 6th ad then 6th strings the instrument adapted instantly and I felt I had a real companion in my hands. The swift 640mm scale plus a low 3.5mm action at the 13th fret make this a truly OUTSTANDING guitar ! |

| 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?
