Description
Jesus Bellido is a renowned Spanish guitar maker from Granada. His father, Manuel Bellido, started to learn the Spanish art of guitar making in the 50s, and this art is being continued by his sons today. Jesus Bellido began working in his father’s workshop at the age of thirteen and built his first guitar under his own name at seventeen. His work, of course, evolved over the years. Today, he builds both his own model and copies of guitars made by Antonio de Torres, Santos Hernández, Louis Panormo, José Pages, José Pernas, and Manuel de la Chica, among others.
This beautiful guitar by the respected guitar maker Jesus Bellido from Granada is an excellent representative of the guitar making tradition of the local guitar making school. The traditional seven-fan-brace cedar top and Indian rosewood back and sides give this instrument a warm, round, and intense sound while maintaining its strong Spanish personality. Furthermore, the 640 mm scale length improves playability significantly, especially for smaller hands.
