Highly figured Bocote B&S, Bocote & Curly Walnut top

Model: HFB-CSR-1

Since early this morning my guitar studio has been touched deeply by the presence of this spectacular Bocote/Curly Walnut top masterpiece. She is the first of a series of 10 instruments that I will produce to celebrate Bellucci Guitars 10th year Anniversary. I will only build 3 of each model and this will carry the 1/3 on the label and certificate of Authenticity which will also be a special label with the gold seal. At times like these words are not enough to express all the feelings your soul gets from contemplating a beauty of this caliber. Whenever humans touch such levels of artistry, Faith is reinforced and one feels blessed for life and all that we as humans are capable of. She is the sum of hundreds of minute details and 335 hours of patient labor. I signed her and dedicated her to Our Lord with the S.D.G. Inscription (Soli Deo Gloria, To God Alone the Glory, see video) and I truly believe that she is the most beautiful guitar ever built.

Everyone that has entered the studio today could not but gap in total astonishment at her beauty. The whole visual experience was only paralleled by the pleasure of playing her. Mamma Mia ! What a terrific sound she has ! Gorgeous, generous basses coupled by the most amazing bell like trebles that send shivers throughout my body. I feel as though I always played her and I cannot say enough when it comes to playability, sustain. I invite you to treat you to this once in a lifetime masterpiece. You will have a piece of musical history in your possession.

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.
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 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 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.
Trurtle Shell decoration adds amazing beauty to an already stunning guitar. It enhances all her lines and put an accent on specific parts of the construction. Turtle Shell decoration requires over 35 hours of highly skilled labor to be made and it takes the guitar to unsuspected levels of beauty.
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.
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 traditional cutaway is both very beautiful and extremely useful. It requires the highest level of luthery to be made and when it comes to playability, it allows the player to access the F# on fret 14 with amazing ease thus covering the 14 most used frets in the classical guitar.
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
These beautiful tuners are made in bronze and are treated so as to display a vintage look to the tuning machines. These have wood buttons mounted and they add beauty and class to Bellucci Guitars
