Guitars are in stated condition.  Used instruments are described as accurately as is possible.  Same with new ones.

I attempt to photograph the instruments as clearly as possible.  I will point out any imperfections (if any) to the best of my ability.

Please note that luthier hand-made instruments are not always perfect regarding finish.

These talented men are doing things by hand.  Human error is part of the process.  The best minimize those errors  :-)

 

Prices are negotiable unless otherwise noted.

 

Please note that we now have Luthier Repair and Setup Services offered by Savage Classical Guitar and Macri Music

 

I also teach classical guitar serving the Long Island NY area

 

We will also take guitars on consignment.  Please contact me and we'll talk...ask for Rich

 

 

I stake my growing reputation as a classical guitar dealer and music publisher every single day

on the accuracy of what I list for sale and on how I treat my customers, from perfect communication to shipping.

2008 Renato Bellucci

 

I just brought this guitar in to the shop. 

Excellent workmanship by Renato's team of luthiers. 

I had my guys inspect the instrument, shaving the nut and saddle to conform to the radius of the neck, a full setup was done, and then we went in and started shaving braces to find the guitar's voice.  The end result is a hands-down winner from looks, to sound, to resonance.  The after-market work alone is worth over $500.00..

48US FedEx shipping included

Takamine Jasmine S35 Acoustic Guitar

SOLD!

A great beginners acoustic guitar, the Jasmine S35 features a spruce top and mahogany back & sides with a satin finish. Contemporary styling and time-tested construction methods produce an instrument that is built to last and, most importantly, sounds powerful and clean on all strings, from treble to bass. Chrome covered tuning machines and a rosewood fret-board are also featured.  Comes with a strap and a pretty nice soft zippered gig bag.  Slightly used she's in excellent condition and really sounds pretty darned good for an inexpensive acoustic guitar.

 

$99.00 + shipping costs

 

I picked this up on August 14, 2008...sold on 8-15-2008


 

     As of this month we are looking towards becoming one of the finest classical guitar stores in New York and the Long Island area.  Every care will be taken with every instrument as if they are my own and every customer as if they are my family.  The service that I and my family have provided for my sheet music business will be the same in every way for my classical guitar customers.  Coming to my studio will be like coming to a friend's home.  Coffee, drink, (no snacks....greasy hands is a no good for guitar!  :-), and even pick-up service from and to the Bay Shore train station to my studio.  I can also arrange for Taxi service if you wish.  Bay Shore is 1 hour on the LIRR from Penn Station

     Heck, bring your bathing suit and go for a swim in the pool or chill out in the jacuzzi with a beer or Pina Colada and we'll talk guitars and music.

     The point here is that I care for my guitars and I will care for you and your needs.  The guitars that I'm selling get the same care that my personal instruments receive.  My studio and storage area are fully humidified and air controlled.  I've installed humidifiers, and numerous hygrometers so that at a glance, I can tell my average humidity.  I maintain a minimum of 40% Relative Humidity.  Guitars are usually kept in their cases at ALL times, unless I'm playing them...LOL.  I have no problem taking them to master luthiers for excellent repairs, setups or adjustments as required.

     Please understand that Prices may reflect my work, my time and the care that I use to package your guitar.  PayPal and Credit Card fees have to be considered as do shipping fees.  I will be primarily using Federal Express for US and Canadian Deliveries.  International Deliveries will receive the same care.  Please see my specifications on box creation, box support and other issues designed to protect your investment while being shipped.  This is very important...you should read it.  :-)

    

   

All prices are slightly negotiable unless noted...any reasonable offer will be considered. 

The prices are already set a considerable discount to what other luthiers sell their models.

 

You can make an offer anytime.

 

Every guitar has a 7 day return policy

where the buyer must pay my shipping cost and the return.

 

 

 

Sound files are attached within each guitar's dedicated page.

 

The only change to the sound files is to add some reverb as the recordings can be dry

and to take out 1db of Noise via Noise reduction filters.

 

The setup for recording is fairly simple.  High end PC with a dedicated Midi Recording Soundcard, tons of memory and hard disk space, an M-Audio Buddy Pre-Amp, into either a Shure Prologue 16L or an AKG C1000S microphone or both. 

The software used for the track recording is Cool Edit Pro or Cool Edit 2000.

 

 

 


 

 

You're always welcome to come over and give any and all guitars a test drive.

 

Just give me a call.  631-335-5447

 

I prefer you come to the studio to play and walk out with your guitar!

My door is always open to you.

 

By Appointment if you wish to come over to the Studio
