Manuel López Bellido, Indian Rosewood/Spruce 2009, Alu-Pegs
Information about the guitar builder Click here.
I was in the workshop of the older brother of Pepe Bellido for the first time in a long time. Despite being almost 70, he still works on his instruments every day. I tried out a couple of beautiful cypress guitars and then I had this rosewood guitar in my hands. It is a beautiful Brazilian rosewood with outstanding spruce soundboard. I loved it from the start. As a special feature, it has pegs made of aluminum in the shape of wooden pegs. The pegs are glued securely in the head and have a machine head inside, which tightens the strings via turning the pegs. These pegs combine the look of wooden pegs and the functionalism of a machine head. He has already built them into more than 40 of his guitars and is totally convinced by them. They look very good and are also very functional. I like it. It is also lighter than a machine head. The guitar has a zero fret as always in his instruments and a beautiful, thin neck. Very easy to play. The sound is crystal clear and powerful. Flamenco Puro.
