BELLISIMO
The most fancy guitar in our MASTERWORKS range. This design combines the beauty of exotic tonewoods with very special sound options.
This is possible due to our special overlaid top. We glue specially selected quarter sawn solid exotic tonewood to the specially selected Alpine Spruce and then sand it to a very thin layer. This allows the soundboard to sound very well, but also this has a minor influence to the sound spectrum. More, there are tens of possibilities of how “to colour” the sound – for example rosewood for a sharper sound, koa or mahogany for a warmer sound or maple for a midrange sound. And with the help of the “double X” bracing that is used for this model, the final sound is on the highest level …
The noble face of this guitar is underlined by the triple pearl rosette and pearl trim around the soundboard. And the neck made form the same or similar tonewood as the top, back and sides makes one important thing you cannot omit – the guitar looks as if it is made from only one kind of wood. A really unique guitar with an excellent appearance
