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.

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 !

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.

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

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.

I received the guitars...played until my fingers hurt too much...WOW!!!!!
THANK YOU!!! My gratitude and commendation to everyone involved in making these guitars,

What can I say! Simply stunning. I received the guitar this morning waited about two hours and opened the package. I strung her up, and within 10 minutes the guitar started to sound beautiful. Deep resonant bases very much like the two John Price guitars I've owed, but the trebles are much more focused and clear. A real cross between an Australian (Smallamn) guitar and Spanish constructed instrument I suspect that after a few days the trebles will be even more bell like and crisper. I know guitars very well, having had many different makers over the years. This guitar is a winner! I must say this guitar is a vast departure from the guitars you built in the beginning- several years ago. The workmanship is excellent and sound is much much better. I like the larger sound port- it blows out air and keeps me cool! quite amazing. Also the radiused fingerboard and smaller scale works great. I'll keep you posted about the sound as it evolves. April 22, 2008: One day later and the guitar is still getting louder, the trebles are becoming piano like.

Truly, you are a maestro AND a gentleman! You promised me a 'masterpiece' and you delivered! Am I glad you are a dedicated musician and not a self-promoting politician! THANK YOU, Renato, for your 'work of art'! It is indeed a RAVING BEAUT - in LOOKS & in SOUND! Brand-new, and yet the sound potential is there. Zounds, what a sound when it comes of age! LOVE the woodgrain of the Macassar Ebony & the clean and elegant look of the Italian Spruce Top! It is truly a 'Thing Of Beauty' and I am truly grateful ALL THE VERY BEST to you and your superfine team of luthiers. May the name 'Bellucci' become one day as iconic as 'Fleta' or 'Hauser' - your 'heroes' of LUTHIERY!
Your friend from Western Australia,

She's very well built!!! A great work of the highest level, and a stunning perfection in the finishing details. She is so well calibrated and the measures are so perfect that she ranks with the BEST !!
The neck is very well designed, very sophisticated work. It allows for great movement during fast scales, glissandos, ties, etc. My most sincere congratulations to you and to the builders. Knowledgeable !!
A big hug, and thanks once again.

The instrument arrived last evening, safe and sound, and in record time. It is in its case in my studio, acclimating. I will bring it into tune a bit later today. The guitar is a truly beautiful work of art. I look forward to hearing its tone open up as I break it in in coming months, and I can't wait to find out what it will sound like in 5 or 6 years -- I have a very special Martin that took almost 10 years to mature fully, and I am patient in these matters.
Many thanks. I look forward to playing this lovely piece of art in performance, and to making others aware of your instruments. If I ever need another classical guitar, you will be the first person I seek!
By the way, I've been reading articles on your website, and I delight in your dedication to teaching and your approach to the instrument. You are a fine artist and a good man.
Until our paths cross again,
Via con Dios,

I just wanted to let you know my cocobolo babe is changing tone daily, you and your boys should be very proud of the quality of your guitars. Hal played it the other day and he was impressed by the very beautiful tone. Both Hal and I have students that will be ordering concert guitars from you very soon. We will do our very best to help sell your beauties here in Hawaii. I will keep you posted on the changes of the cocobolo beauty. Also, if you need a testamonial for you web site, just let me know.
Your friend always
