Bellucci Cocobolo B&S, Hauser braced Cedar top Concert guitar

www.mangore.com/bellucci-guitars-march-23-2012-cedar.html Cocobolo B&S, Hauser braced Cedar top Concert guitar. 640mm fret spacing, African Padauk bindings and Luxury marquetry on all sides. Gold plated Enameled tuners, 20" radiused Macassar Ebony fingerboard, armrest and decorated bridge. Double sequential soundport in the upper bout, Carbon fiber truss rod, Buffalo horn saddle & nut. Indented Cutaway! Pro Hardshell case included! Gorgeous! The wood of Sunset is what I the way I like to refer to Cocobolo. It is one of America most striking tonewoods and grows all over Central and Northern South America. It blossoms in Guatemala, Panama and Belize... The texture of the grain is tight and this allows the wood to resonate like a bell. It also allows me to finish her like no other tonewood. When lacquer covers the wood, all the nuances of reds, yellows, oranges and deep brown and black come to life with force. It is as if a fireplace had been lit and the room reflected all the colors from the flames on the walls and furniture. I Hauser braced the top with a beautiful Western redcedar to give her the sweetness and expressiveness typical of the species. At the same time I enhance its amazing separation of voices which is eloquent in the Bach Prelude and Fugue I indulged myself into. The decoration of her lines and edges is perfect and she is pure art from every angle. An easy action from a stylized neck with a gentle 20" radius make her a pleasure to play.
