Indonesian Rosewood Masterwork

Indonesian Rosewoood Model IRSRT4

Brown is the color that comes to mind when you are a kid and you are told to color the trunk of a tree. In other words, Brown is the color of wood by default. I have used over 50 different species of wood to build my guitars and this makes me a legitimate authority in the matter. One thing is sure though, the Rosewoods family of trees are typically the best species to sift through. A vast array of Browns can be found among Brazilian, African, Indian, Indonesian and Bolivian (Pau Ferro) & Paraguayan Rosewoods (AKA Palosanto). All types of different grains are also present in the species. All the way from homogeneous browns of different depth to swirly and highly figured sets. Sound-wise, all Rosewoods rank very high. Brazilian Rosewood has been attributed the highest scores but the other members of this sought after species of wood are not to be neglected. The speculation surrounding Brazilian Rosewood and the difficulties associated with trading the wood have made it the target of immense abuse and speculation. Although the wood is definitely a great tone wood, it is also true that it is not worth the hustle often associated with getting the sets. I like to call the Bellucci guitar models built using any of the Rosewoods as "Segovia Model". These are instruments inspired in the legendary Andalusian guitarist playing and sound. Mid to heavy built instruments using the Hauser frame and using a vast array of tops ranging from Spruce, Cedar, Redwood and Kingwood. This type of guitar is what made it possible for Andres Segovia to produce the superlative sound he was so famous for; a sound that cannot be reproduced in today hybrid construction methods. I offer the Segovia model using many different species for the top: Spruce (Italian, German, Engelmann, Sitka), Cedar and Sinker Redwood especially.

Bellucci guitars are decorated using marvelous wood marquetry to enhance all her lines and put an accent on specific parts of the construction. The marquetry requires anywhere between 35 & 90 hours of highly skilled labor to be inlayed throughout the guitar. It is made entirely by hand using knives that each luthier typically manufactures himself. It takes the guitar to unsuspected levels of beauty. The marquetry also constitutes an often critical point of release of tension which is caused by the constant expanding and contracting of the woods used in guitar construction. These are due to such factors such as humidity and ambience temperature.
The Mother of Pearl and Abalone inlay work adds amazing beauty to an already stunning guitar. It takes innumerable hours and very specialized hands and tools to create each inlay work. The average number of hours invested is approximately 150 hours.
The Bellucci Limited Edition logo and label will be assigned to guitars I build using extremely rare and amazingly figured woods in the construction for both the back and sides and/or the top. These sets are selected among hundreds of sets and their price is significantly higher that the standard figured counterparts. 7 of the world best "wood hunters" all the way from South East Asia, Oceania, Africa and the Americas are constantly on the lookout to provide me with some amazing sets for the Limited Edition series.
The 9-braces Hauser fan is the result of many years of experimenting. It is based on Torres 4 fan brace design which was later developed by the German luthier Hermann Hauser. The braces act as sound vibrations highways. They carry the vibration of each string to a specific spot on the soundboard. The variations on the 9 braces fan is enormous. The Luthier taylors each fan to achieve a specific sound and match the instrument with the rest of the woods used in the construction. I often use a mixture of Cedar, Spruce and Mahogany to achieve the best separation of voices. When I add the extra transversal strut in the Rodriguez style, it enhances the sound of treble string enormously.
The Violin tie type of anchoring allows the top to vibrate generously and it also translates in ease of play for the right hand that finds the string ready under the fingertip at lightning speed.
The armrest prevents the forearm to interfere with the vibration of the top thus adding a few extra decibels to the instrument. Plus it looks great !
Some Sets for either the Back and Sides, for the Top or both can be quite stunning and rare when it comes to the figure and grain that they display. It is as if nature, knowing the final destiny of its creature, "prepared" the wood in such a way that its grain, hidden to the human eye and to the world, silently develops a breathtaking beauty that comes to life when the dead tree is sawn. Getting the same identical figure is practically speaking impossible but I strive at getting figured wood that resembles and transmits the same vital impression as the one here depicted
Carbon Fiber is stronger than an equivalent volume of steel. The Carbon fiber truss rod prevents neck twisting and/or bending due to the excessive tension that many modern brands of strings bring about. It adds practically no weight to the construction and will keep your neck straight for ages.
The Bellucci Triple Neck Reinforcement (Maple-Rosewood-Maple) adds beauty and resilience to the neck allowing us to build it slim and when coupled to the Carbon Fiber Truss rod or the Adjustable Truss Rod, it ensures a beautiful and straight neck for several generations no matter what string tension or brand you use.
Typically, when I decorate the rosette with Pearl and Abalone, I match the work with touches of both Pearl & Abalone on the Bridge and/or on the accompanying Violin tie.
Papua Abalone Linings add a touch of finesse to the lines of a guitar that it is almost unconceivable that not all guitars wear them. he only reason is perhaps that it takes over 4 days of intensive labor to make
The Papua Abalone Rosette is simply fabulous and adds a touch of beauty to the most looked at part of the instrument.
The Ultralight Travel Case Ideal for Shipping (Included) is a very sturdy and extremely light case that protects the guitar very well while allowing the player to carry the instrument without adding more weight than strictly necessary. It is covered in black plush inside and has 2 pockets on the outside and an accessories compartment on the inside. 2 Straps to carry it on the back as a backpack or over the shoulder.
I find wood buttons to be extremely beautiful. They add sobriety and elegance to the headstock
The amazing skill required to embed pearl & abalone in tiny pieces of Ebony is simply stunning. The beauty of an otherwise neglectable part of the construction, suddenly comes to life.
