This Jesus Bellido concert classical guitar is based on the 1883 Antonio de Torres guitar, SE 54, that is in the Centro de Documentación Musical de Andalucía. Jesus has been given access to it, and has studied closely. While the rosette and other decorative touches are his own, structurally it comes very close to the original. This is just the kind of little guitar I love. It has a very big sound that in some unfathomable way emerges from a very small, thin-bodied guitar. The trebles are astounding. The basses are forthright. The mid-range is exceptional. This little guitar simply sings and is a joy to play. It works just wonderfully as classical or flamenco guitar.
