Dear Renato
Just letting you know that I picked up my Beautiful New Babe yesterday. I just cannot thank you enough Maestro for the exquisite workmanship that went into the creation of this stunning masterpiece. This is without a doubt the most beautiful Guitar that I have ever had the privilege of holding in my arms, and the best part about it is she's mine. I have to pinch myself every time I hold her hoping I do not wake up from a dream. As exquisite and visually stunning as this Guitar truly is, the playability and tonal character of this Masterpiece is even better. The action is just wonderful; and the intonation is close to perfection. The sound of the Guitar right out of the box is astonishing to say the least. Judging by the fact that this babe is bran new and only a few days removed from the final lacquering, this is the best playing and sounding Guitar I have ever owned or had the privilege to play. I can only imagine how the sound will improve over the days and years ahead as I play her. Every piece that I play on her sounds like I'm playing the piece anew; and with each pluck it seems I am truly discovering the music anew as it was meant to be heard. BRAVO!!!!! Maestro, and THANK YOU!!!! from the bottom of my heart, you have not only made my day with this beauty, but you have made my life for music.
A thousand hugs,

I received my new Brazilian guitar in perfect shape and am absolutely thrilled with it. I've never seen such a beautiful guitar, the wood is so interesting and different. You've done it again and I wanted to thank you so much for such a beautiful work of art. Very very special "babe"!!!
Yours:

Hi Renato
My guitar came Monday July 14.
I was so happy/relieved to see how well you prepared her for the journey to Los Angeles. The box made of strong plywood and the guitar nestled in a dense foam padding in addition to the padded bag, I couldn't have asked for better packing. I will keep the box in case I have to move and she will be protected without worry.
I could not wait to hold and play her. Renato, you are a genius, the way you matched everything is true art to be compared with any painting you've ever been taken with. Her beauty is beyond words and she has a voice to match. I can feel her sing throughout my body, something I'd never experienced before with any guitar, mine or someone else's. Her voice has changed in the short time I've played her and can't wait to hear the beauty of it as and when she matures.
The workmanship and crafting of my guitar is flawless and believe me I looked inside and out. The guitar is so well built that, I believe with proper care and maintenance she will last for several life times. In truth I have never seen anything like it. Not in workmanship, beauty, sound quality and choice of materials, appointments, and I've had the pleasure to have seen some exceptionally crafted guitars in the hands of their owners as they were being played.
I only have one regret and that is that I waited to order my guitar for as long as I did. If I had it to do again I would without hesitation. I will highly recommend you to my friends but, in truth, once they see and hear my guitar they will be asking me how to get one.
Thank you for everything.

Desde España, un abrazo.

Dear Renato
The guitar arrived in perfect conditions. I want to confirm, like so many before me, that the finish is perfect and the sound is as you qualify: SPECTACULAR !! I am totally satisfied with my purchase. Thanks maestro from Spain.

Fabulous!!! The most beautiful guitar I've seen yet! It will stay in my family as a keep sake.
Thank you so much for this beautiful gift, I know I will have a very hard time putting it down. It is truly a work of art!!!
Yours very truly with a BIG hug!,

My instrument arrived yesterday and it's absolutely beautiful! The wooden container and packaging was great. I can't believe that in just four days from Paraguay to my doorstep in Massachusetts.
The workmanship is wonderful and I'm only beginning the process of playing it in. I'm looking forward to listening to the tones open up over time. You were correct, the bases are much deeper and resonate much more than my current instrument. And the finish is really beautiful. Very, very happy! This process was worth the wait. In fact, I'm contemplated ordering another instrument. Blackwood this time. Can't wait to show this baby off and even more anxious to get home and play. Thanks for all your help and communication.
Regards,

It's only been 3 days since I receivedmy Beautiful Guitar. I could not wait any longer to comment.
As a retired brass instrument concert musician (many years ago), I have a good background in quality instruments and have played the guitar as a relaxing pastime for nearly 45 years. For the past 30 years I have been creating in wood as a Master Carver and Sculptor in wood, so I know the qualities and characteristics of wood. I have also been carving relief and incise designs into custom musical instruments for almost 20 years. Through all of this, I have seen no instrument that surpassed a Renato Bellucci Guitar creation in quality, beauty or playability. What a magnificent instrument! The woods are of rare aged choice and quality, which makes these instruments the most beautiful and resonating of any anywhere.
My new guitar is a work of art. The Master luthiers, apprentices and You, Renato, need to be commended for your commitment to excellence.
Thanks for the multiple optional choices in the ordering process. Sorry, I kept adding to the order as it progressed.
This instrument has actually possessed me to practice to be better....not just to entertain myself.
I'm an old guy with a new toy....What a Joy!
With mucho thanks,

Hello Renato
First of all I would like to express my thanks to you for making such an incredible guitar. What a display of talent! The quality and tone of your instrument is superb beyond all my expectations easily surpassing that of my Ramirez, Blochinger and Tezanos. All of which I spent thousands more. They don’t even come close. Definitely the best value and investment in a concert guitar I ever made. This guitar looks, sounds and speaks very very highly of your dedication to the art of classical guitar. I am looking forward to purchasing my next instrument. Talk to you soon.
Thanks again and may God continue to bless you, your family and team of luthiers.

Dear Renato
The Blackwood has arrived safely it really is quite astonishing! It is hard to believe that woods can be manipulated to create instruments of such beauty and sophistication, but it seems you have all outdone yourselves yet again. Everything about it is spectacular, and the "phase 3 " bulge in the spruce reminds me of hand carved archtops.
I truly appreciate all you have done in the past year to provide me with these fine instruments. This is a great enterprise you have taken on, and I wish you continued success in all your artistic endeavors. I look forward to communicating sometime in the future, perhaps even a visit for some lessons 1st hand !
Thanks so much Renato !

Dear Mr Bellucci
Thank you for the spruce top Brazilian guitar which I received yesterday. After opening the case, I saw nothing but a gorgeous looking instrument. I have never had a Brazilian guitar before, and I compared that with the Indian rosewoods that I have, and it was really no comparison.
As you have said, the guitar has tremendous volume even compared with steel string guitars. Besides the clarity and the separation of the notes, it is very easy to play. The biggest surprise I have is that this guitar's tonal quality is very "sweet". Something that I have never experienced. I played with it for almost three hours before I put in down. That kind of got me wonder what a double top would sound like. I am now contemplating of upgrading it yet by getting a double top spruce brazilian from you soon...
In any event, thank you again for the great sounding guitar.

Hola Renato
Hoy a medio día me trajeron la guitarra.
Tenías razón, es una belleza. Las fotos que le sacaste no le hacen justicia. Ahora que la tengo a mi lado veo que es más hermosa que lo que se podía apreciar en ellas. El acabado es excelente, perfecto, colma sobradamente todas mis expectativas. Se toca muy fácil con ella, el grueso del mástil y la altura de las cuerdas hacen que sea sencillo tocar... Me gusta mucho el sonido, los agudos son "cristalinos" justo lo que yo quería.
Estoy encantado y agradecido. Ha sido un acierto pleno escojeros a vosotros para encargar mi guitarra. Teniendo en cuenta el precio, más que razonable, y el resultado final, esto para mí ha sido un gol como una catedral. Estoy muy satisfecho. Muchas gracias por todo. Tu amigo,

Hi Renato
I received the guitar today.
You were right, she's a beauty. The pictures you posted do not transfer the real beauty. Now that I have her with me, I see her in all her splendor. The finish is top notch, perfect, it fulfills all my expectations. She's easy to plays... the shape and thickness of the neck and the height of the strings is also perfect and make her so easy to play. I love the sound..."crystaline trebles" exactly what I was looking for. I am in love. To choose your shop to build my concert guitar was a wise decision. Plus the price was right, much more than right....The final result feels like scoring in a soccer final. I am completely satisfied. Thanks for everything, Your friend

The guiatar arrived today, packed so well in a wooden crate. She is so beautiful and sweet smelling, her sound is like an angel. Thank you, it was well worth the wait. Will contact you again about a Flamenco with same specs only Black Lima back and sides. This guitar will inspire me forever. David

The babe arrives last Wednesday safe and in perfect condition, thanks to your huge and stable wood crate and once again many thanks for your extraordinary support. I also want you to know that from my point of view the whole process was absolutely benchmarking and I loved the contacts we had. Maybe we see us once in Asuncion but for the moment I’m very happy for the fortune that we became acquainted.
Your/my guitar is really fantastic, I named it from the first moment I saw and held it “my guitar”. But the absolutely winner is the playability and the sound which is unique. The sound improves with every day of playing and right now it is a beautiful and big one and I suppose the improvement will continue. My wife is a professional flutist, teacher and leader of a chamber orchestra, and she also loves the sound. She told me that the sound coming from this guitar is the best she ever heard, touching her heart and soul. What more can I want than this – I love my guitar and of course my wife for her reaction. When I look at the Blackwood babe I see and feel all the efforts and love which was necessary to create her, in all her beauty and details. You must be a lucky man. Best Regards, also to your family and your team of luthiers

Hi Renato
My guitar arrived yesterday. After carefully unpacking her I spent the next hour just looking at her, she is really beautiful. Later in the evening I tuned her up and ran through a few things - if this is what she sounds like now she will be really amazing in 6 months or so !! Thank you and your team very much for all your hard work.
A very happy Paul.
