I've shown the guitar to some friends, all working guitar playing musicians.
The response from all of them has been the same. Upon opening the case - DEAD SILENCE! - all of them, they all just stared at it for a while, then comments, 'work of art' - 'wow' - 'that is beautiful', just kind of overwhelmed at the first sight of the instrument.
Just thought you'd like to hear that. By the way, that new Sinker Redwood - Cocobolo guitar is absolutely gorgeous!

Good Afternoon Mr. Bellucci
This morning I took my Bellucci guitar in the Heritage Guitar Company in Kalamazoo, MI. I wanted to show my friends your quality of workmanship. I worked with the owners when I was working at Gibson. They were impressed with the guitar, case and your website.
Thank you, everything is in order.

I received the guitar today and am overjoyed. She is beautiful. I tuned her up and have been playing for an hour. The tone is so balanced! The sound is very good. Her volume is loud, but is always in balance. Is that resulting from the Violin tailpiece?
The bridge saddle appears to be perfectly straight.
The finish is so fine it looks like she is wet. My daughter was impressed with the diamonds. Maybe when my nails grow, and some of the rust comes off my fingers, I will get my 14 year old son to show me how to upload a video onto YOUTUBE and send it to you.
After a few days she should get accustomed to being in New Orleans and should sound even better. Humidity is no problem here. We have too much of it. I might want to start playing concerts at the Church again.
Thank you,

Dear Renato
We just received your beautiful instrument today and Michael immediately fell in Love. I could not think of a more wonderful gift to give as a token of my love for Michael. It is magnificent, Michael was at a loss for words, and just couldn't believe how beautiful she already felt and sounded.. He will be contacting you soon to thank you personally. The love and care that went into this Guitar is evident in every element. Thank you.
Wishing you all the Best,

Dear Mr. Bellucci
This is to let you know that my Guitar arrived here in Vicksburg, MI today March 22 at 3:50pm. Everything was in excellent shape.
I am still looking it over cosmetically (which is beautiful) and listening to the sound and comparing it to my Contreras guitar (1978) which has a lot of cracks in the back and top but it still sounds very good.
I will let you know what I will learn about my new guitar. So far I love the feel of the neck
I love the playing action. The craftsmanship of the construction is very professional.
Thank you so much for your prompt service. It was very professional.

Hello Renato
I wanted to let you know that I received my guitar today, safe and sound. It is truly a magnificent instrument. The workmanship is simply amazing.
The different woods used, the bindings and the rosette are unbelievable. I played if for my wife Karla, and she just loved the beauty of the sound that she heard.
The tones produced were so clean and clear. I couldn't be more pleased with this guitar. Even the case for the guitar is beautiful.
It is the absolutely the best birthday present that I have ever received.
Now that I've experienced for myself the high quality of instruments that you build and seeing what possibilities that you have to offer, I suspect that I will be ordering a custom instrument from you sometime in the future.
Thanks again.

I have just taken delivery ( last week) of my second Bellucci guitar. It was packed with care and delivered very efficiently thank you
It is even more beautiful than my first ( bought in 2010) and sounds brighter and is more responsive
I love them both. Keep up your excellent work

My guitar arrived this morning. I did not have a chance to unpack it and tune it up until this evening. It has a lovely, sweet sound and is very easy to play - very nice, low action. I do very much like the radiused fretboard and the 640mm scale. The cutaway is also a very nice feature.
I find that the treble has a warm, singing voice (I do like cedar soundboards!), and the is bass strong. It is a beautiful guitar and has a good home with me. Thank you for your support in helping me choose both the guitar and specific features (such as the violin tie end and armrest). You have been lovely and helpful.
I just got finished spending over an hour with my new Bellucci guitar. The strings are stretching out and the guitar is sounding wonderful! And it is so easy to play! Wonderful action and very responsive. If anything, the sound has grown "warmer" in just an hour! I think the guitar and I are a good match!
I did not comment in my previous email, but the case is very nice, and well padded -- a good fit.
Thank you, dear sir, for a wonderful guitar!

Dear Renato
First, I wanted to say “Thank you” to you and your outstanding Luthiers. I am extremely happy, this guitar is incredible!
Before deciding to purchase from you I read through the testimonials, and it was easy to see a definite pattern in what people had to say about your guitars. As I zealously read through them, I could feel a thread of satisfaction that I can happily say I now share. Although it has been several weeks since I received my guitar, and though I’ve played it nearly every day, it still feels like the first time when it comes out of the case and I hold it in my hand. I always end up rubbing my palm across the curves of the sides before playing and it’s become a very satisfying ritual.
There is not much more to say that wouldn’t involve some form of repeating how great this guitar is and how happy I am with my purchase. But if you share my email and others are reading through testimonials as I once did, and are wondering about making such a large purchase online with an unknown company, or about the service and support or integrity of Bellucci guitars; I can say first hand that you will be happy with your decision to own a Bellucci.
Warm Regards,

I received her just now and I am very excited to meet her.
She is much more beautiful than her picture on the website. Great details. I have not ever seen something like this.
Words cannot describe her beauty. Wonderful!!! Is the only word that I can repeat when looking at her.
You are a real master. I don't know how I can THANK you.
I hope you will be healthy for a long time to make the guitarist happy all around the world.
Many, many, many big HUGS

Hi Renato
My daughter can not believe how beautiful the guitar is. It plays and sounds perfect. I can't believe how much sustain it has for a 615mm. It's also perfect for her hands. She said if you were here she would kiss you.
Thanks so much, and God bless you,

Hello Renato
I received my guitar today. I can't believe how quickly it got here.
What a Christmas present ! I was so excited to get it.
It is absolutely beautiful . And she sounds wonderful. I love the depth and volume of the lower strings, yet the upper strings have a brighness as well.
Thank you so much!
Have a Happy Holiday Season !

Dear Renato
I received my guitar two days ago. WOW! She is beautiful and the sound is incredible. It is amazing that when she is in tune the wood vibrates with the resonance of the strings. Thank you for your everlasting impeccable taste in wood and attention to detail. It is truly a masterpiece.
Thank you, always love and peace.
