Jesus Bellido (b. 1966), the son of Manuel Lopez Bellido, comes from a family of luthiers, and is one of the finest luthiers in Granada. This model is his top quality flamenco guitar. As his family has their own saw milling machinery, they not only process their own logs, but are able to offer guitars made of the highest quality woods at reasonable prices. This guitar's top is of best tight-grained German spruce and offers outstanding clarity of tone. The back and sides are made from impeccable Spanish cypress. This guitar is fitted with high quality Gotoh primium tuners, and has a zero fret for better intonation and playability. For the player this guitar has it all: a set up that low, fast and comfortable, great power, a true flamenco rasp and bark, and wonderful flamenco tone. Due to shipping, this guitar has two expertly repaired hairline cracks on the bottom (see photo) so we are not able to sell it as a new guitar, and have discounted it, taking $500 off the list price.
