Indonesian Rosewood back, sides & top, Stradivarius Model

“Stradivarius Model”, IR-BST-1

Stunning is perhaps the best adjective to describe this all Rosewood Masterpiece we built to inaugurate a glorious 2015 that promises to bring to life some of Bellucci guitars all time most amazing creations.

I embarked at gathering a set of Indonesian Rosewood for the back and sides with some fabulous striping and an equally beautiful set of Indonesian Rosewood for the main top and Spruce for the second top. The striping and color tones of every panel of wood is perfect. Nature shows off her artistry and you can spend long stretches of time admiring her countless details. You have the impression of contemplating the most dramatic tropical sunset every time your eyes meet the beauty of the grain. Once I was able to match the marquetry and every part of the construction so as to have an eye candy worthy of admiration, we started building this amazing Queen. As the work progressed the anticipation grew to the point that the past few weeks I could barely wait for one more day until this morning when she finally came out of the lacquering booth... She is a true masterpiece! Everything about her is perfect. Her lines, the marquetry, the playability and the sound... Everything! The trebles are clear and penetrating and perfectly separated and sustained thanks to the second Spruce top. The Spruce top starts vibrating a fraction of a second after the main Rosewood top and the sustain and clarity generated are simply marvelous. As you play on the fingerboard you feel as though she accompanies every move of your hands and fingers. She's very easy to play thanks to the slim neck and the cutaway. I feel blessed for being able to work with such a marvelous material as wood. I give thanks to God for helping me to create beauty too this world. This instrument is a testament to everything I believe in.

She carries the special "Limited Edition" Bellucci Label with the 1/3 writing next to her serial number to indicate that I will only build 3 units of this particular model. She belongs to the ages. S.D.G.
