Aged Brazilian rosewood B&S, Cedar top. March 3, 2009

Health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die

92 year air dried Brazilian rosewood B&S, Cedar top Concert guitar. Gabon Ebony bindings, radiused fingerboard, armrest and bridge. Hauser-Bellucci Western redcedar top. 640mm. Embossed leather case included. Luxury Russian rosette and bindings. SPECTACULAR!
The life and crispiness of sound that emanate from this gorgeous babe are simply put PHENOMENAL ! Leyenda's few measures I play in the clip are, literally, the first notes created by this amazing guitar. I got her tuned fresh out of polishing and played her. Great response, with Huge basses and crisp mid tones and trebles. The instrument vibrates generously sending huge vibrations through the player's body.
A 92 years air dried set of Brazilian rosewood from Rio de Janeiro matched perfectly by a Western redcedar top. Pure beauty and detailing that will keep you in awe. She's stunning ! The radiused 640mm radiused fingerboard will deliver a great ease of playing. Those tricky passages that simply are beyond a player's natural reach are made flawless immediately. The ebony armrest will keep the tendons at a natural angle while preventing the forearm from interfering with the top vibrations. Bellucci guitars finishing goodies are all present: double headplate, luxury marquetry on all sides, triple neck reinforcement truss rodA true Queen !

Radiused or flat fingerboard?
The radiused fingerboard has been around the acoustic and the electric guitar since day one. The same is true for most instruments of the Stringed family of instruments (violas, violins cellos, bass). Radiusing (image above) makes barre and left hand stopping A LOT easier. The only drawback is that you will NEVER want to play a flat fingerboard after that. If you are having your custom guitar built, I am all pro radiusing the fingerboard. The standard fingerboard is flat.

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.

640mm
Regarding 650mm or 640 mm guitar construction, 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. Adapting from one scale to the other takes no adaptation.
