| Bellucci guitars are the result of hundreds of hours of passionate work and dedication. It all started in Italy in 1968. Andres Segovia, Narciso Yepes and Abel Carlevaro were my guitar teachers and are the men responsible to make the seed of music germinate and grow with every passing year. My love for luthery on the other hand, comes from living in a country with a long tradition in instrument construction that dates back to the Jesuit Reductions of the 15th Century. The proximity to the best source of woods at the most competitive prices and a low cost of labor, have made it possible for me to come up with great concert class instrument. I build classical guitars from a player's perspective. A custom concert guitar with these characteristics is sold anywhere between 8,000 to 20,000 US dollars in Europe and the US. Bellucci concert guitars are 100% hand crafted in Asuncion, Paraguay and are played in over 90 countries. |

The Ultra ZIRICOTE B&S, Double top Contreras style V1 Alpine Spruce top+ Sinker Redwood
Ready for immediate shipping
US$ 2,900 2,346 €urosDHL Shipping: USA 164 USD, Europe 203 USD, Asia 258 USD |
This is probably the last Ziricote Back and sides concert guitar I will be offering this year and it is one opportunity to own one of these tremendous guitars. I will not have more sets for the next 4-6 months. Just like her predecessors, she is a magnificent guitar that earned the thumbs up of every luthier in the firm. The intricate knotting of the figure creates some really amazing patterns that you can spend hours admiring. I added a gorgeous Alpine spruce top from Val D'Aosta to achieve the brilliant and amazingly well defined trebles I look for in a concert classical. The Sinker Redwood double top adds the mystery and a sweetness that I thought of putting into words interpreting Torroba's Elegia in the demo video. The main melody is echoed on the bass and the discourse that the 2 voices carry on speaks of an abandoned castle in central Spain... The sustain is perfect because the melody notes always find the reverberating basses when they star singing. Beautiful ! Playability is perfect at just 3.7mm at fret 12. Slim radiused neck make the playing easy and natural and there is no waste of energy for the left hand. Amboina Burl and African Padauk are the Exotic woods I used to decorate her beyond the norm and make her a true work of art. 
650 mm or 640 mm? Keep the following rule at hand: If the distance between the tip of your thumb and the tip of your little finger is equal or less than 9 in. when fully stretched, use 640 mm 
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 is located halfway between the main top and the back. It is held in place by means of little Mahogany bridges. This top vibrates a fraction of a second after the first one creating an immense sustain and punch.. |

GABON EBONY B&S, Lattice Braced SINKER REDWOOD TOP ADJUSTABLE TRUSS ROD & EQualizer w. Digital Tuner "The ZORRO" !!
Ready for immediate shipping
|
Every time I build a Zorro model I feel as enthusiastic as a young child. I was 8 when I first started playing the guitar in Taranto Italy. At the same time I was hooked on my all time hero The Zorro, played by Guy Williams in the legendary TV series. The Masked man that would leave mark villains with a Z would make my imagination fly with every episode. It was quite natural for me to want to commemorate those magical years with a guitar model that would honor this great Character that made justice with his Sword. I am certain The Zorro would use this beauty for a guitar to serenade his sweethearts! Everything on this babe is reminiscent of the Zorro: The selection of wood, the mother of pearl speckled rosette, the ebony details, the Sinker top... I mounted 2 very important extras to make her as complete as possible for every possible musical scenario. The 4-band Equalizer with a double output (Canon plug and 1/4 inch plug) that also carries a magnificent Digital Equalizer. The adjustable truss rod which is a gadget that those coming from the Acoustic guitar world will find useful. You may never use it, but should you ever need it, it is great to have. Playing Cavatina, was a pleasure despite the fact that I had to forcefully file my fingernails down because one of my nails chipped a few days ago. The bass is clear and very well defined and the melody is powerful and clear. The Lattice bracing brings out the clearest trebles and a superb separation of voices while the Gabon created the deepest basses a player can dram of. Long live The Zorro !

Brazilian Rosewood B&S Double top Contreras style V1 Alpine Spruce top CUTAWAY
Ready for immediate shipping
US$ 2,480 |
Here is one spectacular Concert Cutaway. I used a superb perfectly bookmatched 96 years air dried set of Brazilian rosewood from Minas Gerais. This means that WW1 was about to begin when the wood for this set started drying. This helps put the age in perspective. The sound reflects the maturity of the wood which translates in a deep sounding very expressive instrument. The bass is round, deep and robust whilst the clarity of the higher registers is perfect. I topped the Brazilian rosewood with Alpine Spruce and used Sinker Redwood for the second top which is mounted halfway between the main top (Alpine Spruce) and the back. Sinker redwood adds a unique signature to the sound that no other wood can replicate. I used Snaked, one of the most beautiful tonewoods on the planet and definitely one of my favorites, to decorate this beauty and added Mother of pearl to make the rosette and decorate the violin tie, bridge and headstock. The sound is well balanced with first class separation between the different voices and with each string preserving its unique character. The sustained bass line creates the perfect background for the epic melody to stand out gloriously. a true work of art for those players that prefer a cutaway over a classical shaped concert guitar.
