These are the main characteristics or Spruce, cedar and redwood: Spruce will give you a  brighter crispier sound with more punch....open, clear tone. Cedar, will be a little warmer. Spruce takes longer to open up.  You can also see it this way: Baroque Classical and Renaissance music will sound better on spruce, Romantic, Spanish and program music will sound better on cedar. These are of course generalizations and what is definitely true is that both Cedar and Spruce make for excellent sound boards. Redwood is very similar to Cedar but with more presence. Italian Spruce is my favorite. Brilliant sound and tight grain. Port Orford cedar has qualities of both Spruce and cedar. Sinker redwood is simply outstanding but rare and expensive. If you have other wood varieties in mind for the top, let me know.

Special features

The violin type of bridge or archtop guitar style bridge are a great input in guitar construction. A lot of the strain caused to the guitar top by the pull of the strings is taken away prolonging the life of the woods for many decades. The armrest is also genial because it keeps the tendons in the forearm more relaxed and is a source of comfort during performance. The hole in the upper bout augments the trebles output and works as a sound monitor for the performer.

 

Adjustable truss rod  The action on Bellucci guitars is set-up for maximum playability. Still, some players like to try different strings and the thickness changes from brand to brand resulting in unwanted buzzes. Acoustic and electric guitar players are especially attached to this gadget. The Truss rod is an excellent remedy which is a lot safer than tinkering with the saddle and nut bones. The action is only moved a few millimeters or fractions of a millimeter by means of a regulator which is placed on the headstock, after the nut. The truss rod is not meant to adjust the height of the strings on the fingerboard but to counter the pull or thickness of the strings especially if you like high tension strings. Still, over 99% of the world classical guitars do not carry a truss rod. I have received the request in the past and I want to offer the option to my customers. One thing is sure, the truss rod will keep your neck straight for several lifetimes.... I built my spruce top with a truss rod and I love the gadget ! add US$ 375 for adjustable model ($95 for fixed)  Classical or cutaway cutaway: add US$ 230 Position markers Position markers are used by novice and pros alike. Using them is a very personal decision. They come very handy helping one of memory's strongest allies: sight.   none or: mother of pearl add US$ 33 each Diamond, brilliant cut, position markers -add US$ 75 each -18kt gold markers:  Add US$ 50 each   Number of frets  19 (standard)  or 20: add US$ 70  Scale length  640 mm, 650 mm (standard)  18 kt gold gold plaque with your name and 4 essential accessories Solid 18kt gold plaque with your name engraved ADD US$ 79  Electronics  Onboard equalizers have no effect on the acoustic performance of the instrument. Installing them, is not just a matter of making a couple of holes on the ring but a time consuming highly precise labor. The tuner which comes with the EQ is in my opinion a GREAT plus which you will find useful many times over.     Optional Artec 4 band Eq/digital chromatic tuner add US$ 290               PURCHASE Custom You will be able to add your chosen custom options on checkout: .. ,4 Essential accessories .
