first steps  to mastery

................. . My involvement with the classical guitar started in Italy in 1968 and it has taken me to study with Andres Segovia,
Narciso Yepes and other legendary classical guitar players and teachers. I played and owned some of the finest instruments and for the
past 22 years my luthier and I have restored and  built concert guitars for me and my students. Great craft work, low cost of labor and
a  great selection  of  woods,  have made it possible for us to come up with a great instrument  using famous guitars as models.
The instrument we are building at present is based on a 1968 Fleta and a 1943 Hauser. Naturally, we add our own touches to adapt these
2 classics to the needs of the contemporary player. The  playability on Bellucci concert guitars is far superior.
Spanish guitars especially, have never been easy to play. A concert guitar with  these characteristics is sold anywhere between 6,000 to
8,000 US dollars in Europe and the US. The action and sound projection are outstanding. The luthier that works with me is among the most
skilled guitar builders on the planet.

4.CUSTOM SERIES

4 easy steps to order a Custom concert guitar Most of the fantastic tropical tone woods available to build concert guitars are simply neglected by luthiers due to ignorance and a lack of spirit of investigation. I offer the unique possibility for you to choose every single wood and part for your guitar. All the woods combinations I offer have turned into some of the best concert instruments I ever played. Feel free to ask for guidance if you are not sure about any aspect of  the selection.  The custom model I offer is based on these 2 legendary guitars: 1968 Fleta for being the creation of a wood worker who turned luthier. Studied luthery in France, restored instruments and built all types of string instruments before dedicating his life to the guitar after hearing a Segovia concert in the mid 1950s. We improved on the action and added our own touches to this Spanish classic. The 1943 Hauser was created with perfection in mind. The 1943 Hauser is essentially a Torres passed through the keen observation of one of the greatest German luthier or as Segovia put it "the greatest builder of our time"
