This is simply a wonderful handmade
concert flamenco guitar from Jose Lopez Bellido, one of Granada's leading and
most respected guitar makers. This guitar has been recently restored by German
Vazquez Rubio, who sprayed lacquer
on the back and sides, and French polished the top. He also repaired a hairline crack along the
treble side fingerboard, and splined a center seam crack on the back. None of
these repairs required cleats or splints, and all are invisible after the
refinish. The bridge was removed and re-set, and a new clear golpeador was
fitted.. The sound of this instrument
is typically Granada, very flamenco, and virtually indistinguishable from Manuel de la Chica's
flamenco guitars. This is a professional flamenco guitar, with a comfortable set
up. It is very
reasonably priced as Jose Lopez Bellido guitars now new sell for well over
$6,000.
