Indonesian Rosewood B&S African Walnut Top
Stunning Beaut, Model IRWT1
Indonesian Rosewood Is a tremendously beautiful tonewood. It grows mainly in South East Asia. It possesses the same qualities of its East Indian relative only that its grain is much more spectacular and offers some lively grain that will always leave you in awe. When it comes to sound, Indonesian Rosewood is very stable and it is a wood needing very little pampering and simply keeping an eye on the humidifier will keep it in top shape for many decades. It finishes very well and matures to perfection and reaches its best sound in only 1 year of intense playing. I topped this beautiful Cutaway with a dramatic and very beautiful set of African Walnut. The combination resulted in a truly stunning guitar that will receive a vast array of rosettes and decorative ideas that will all work in conjunction to bring about a truly epic guitar. The basic model will work perfectly with the traditional Hermann Hauser bracing. Still, you can further customize this beauty so as to make your custom guitar a perfect fit for your music dreams. The Lattice with the Doubletop is one of my all time favorite combinations because it makes the guitar perform on all its potential: Bright, well separated sound and sustain to die for. I recommend you take this beautiful instrument into consideration especially if you are looking for a guitar to stick to for life. S.D. G.
The 9-braces Hauser fan is the result of many years of experimenting. It is based on Torres 4 fan brace design which was later developed by the German luthier Hermann Hauser. 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. The Luthier taylors 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 achieve the best separation of voices. When I add the extra transversal strut in the Rodriguez style, it enhances the sound of treble string enormously.
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 traditional cutaway is both very beautiful and extremely useful. It
requires the highest level of luthery to be made and when it comes to
playability, it allows the player to access the F# on fret 14 with
amazing ease thus covering the 14 most used frets in the classical
guitar.
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 !
The Violin tie type of anchoring allows the top to vibrate generously and it also translates in ease of play for the right hand that finds the string ready under the fingertip at lightning speed.
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
Carbon Fiber is stronger than an equivalent volume of steel. The Carbon fiber truss rod prevents neck twisting and/or bending due to the excessive tension that many modern brands of strings bring about. It adds practically no weight to the construction and will keep your neck straight for ages.
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 & Waverly. All models are Gold plated and are designed to last for a lifetime.
I find wood buttons to be extremely beautiful. They add sobriety and elegance to the headstock
