Highly Figured Indonesian Rosewood B&S Concert Guitar

Bellucci Model HFIR3

Brown is the color that comes to mind when you are a kid and you are told to color the trunk of a tree. Brown is the color of wood by default. As I started to build concert guitars, I have come to use many different species of woods and I have come to the conclusion that "Brown" is not necessarily the default color of wood. Having used over 50 species to build guitars makes me a legitimate authority in the matter. One thing is sure though: when searching for the color Brown, the Rosewoods family of trees are typically the species to sift through. A vast array of Browns can be found among Brazilian, African, Indian, Indonesian and Bolivian (Pau Ferro) & Paraguayan Rosewoods (AKA Palosanto). All types of different grains are also present in the species. All the way from homogeneous browns of different depth to swirly and highly figured sets. Soundwise, they all rank very high. Brazilian Rosewood has been attributed the highest scores but the other members of this sought after species are not to be neglected. The speculation surrounding the Brazilian species and the difficulties associated with trading the wood have made it the target of immense abuse and, although the wood is definitely a great tone wood, it is also true that it is not worth the hustle often associated with getting the best sets. I like to call the Bellucci guitar models built using any of the Rosewoods as "Segovia Model". These are instruments inspired in the legendary Andalusian guitarist playing and sound. Mid to heavy built instruments using the Hauser frame and using a vast array of tops ranging from Spruce, Cedar, Redwood and Kingwood. This type of guitar is what made it possible for Andres Segovia to produce the superlative sound he was so famous for; a sound that cannot be reproduced in today hybrid construction methods. I offer the Segovia model using many different species for the top: Spruce (Italian, German, Engelmann, Sitka), Cedar, Sinker Redwood and many more. Feel free to contact me for further information regarding the "Segovia Model". S.D.G.

The Bellucci Hand tooled Leather Case is the Premium Bellucci Case. The Bellucci hand embossed Genuine 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. It takes countless hours of patient labor to build and emboss a single leather case. Bellucci guitar cases are built following my specifications for both the interior and exterior in order to fit Bellucci guitars like a glove. The Bellucci Guitar Case will also fit other standard full size concert classical guitar brands. Each Bellucci Hand Embossed case is a unique work of art hand stitched and built to last forever. It takes over 110 hoursof very skilled and patient labor to build a single Bellucci Hand Embossed Leather Case. Each one is a true masterpiece. S.D.G.
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 Bellucci/Hauser fan is the result of many years of experimenting. It is based on Torres 4 fan brace design. 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. Luthier taylor 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 match different wood combinations.
The armrest prevents the forearm to interfere with the vibration of the top thus adding a few extra decibels to the instrument. Plus it looks great !
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
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.
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.
Bellucci Guitars wear some of the best tuners available on the market. Schaller, Gotoh, DJ. All models are Gold plated and are designed to last for a lifetime.
