The sound and beauty of this Sinker Redwood top masterpiece make her rank as one of the best Bellucci guitars ever built. The 100 year air dried set of Brazilian Rosewood from Cascavel, Brazil, possessed one of the most promising tap tones a builder can dream of and the resulting instrument is proof of that. A deep mature sound that comes from deep in the wood fibers. The figure she possesses is amazingly beautiful and it resemble a spider. I could not possibly call her anything else but "The Spider guitar" The color is deep brown with swirling streaks of black, orange and green. I topped her with a 280 year old set of Sinker Redwood. I made the fan brace in Herman Hauser 1943 style adding of course my very own personal touches to the equation like the mixed woods fan brace (Cedar, Mahogany and Spruce, image below). The combination is perfect and the instrument sings majestically and no concert hall is a match for an instrument of this caliber.
To vary and accommodate my guitars construction to serve all the Bellucci guitar admirers, therefore, I decided to go as classical as possible with her. I made her a 650mm Hauser. She can have the tie and armrest mounted as an extra on request. The Bach prelude flows marvelously and the bass creates the right amount of punch in order to sustain the other voices that are always clear and marvelously separated. The vibratos are natural and playing on her is easy because the neck is slim and the action is set at 3.5mm at the 12th fret. As low as it gets ! If you were on the lookout for a master concert guitar, this babe is definitely the guitar for you.
