2008 Renato Bellucci

I just brought this guitar in to the shop.

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..

Back to the Main Guitar Page

As of early 2008 I have been working hard and looking towards becoming the finest classical guitar store in the Long Island New York 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.

I specialize in a no-pressure - you have to love it - take your time environment. Very informal, I simply want you to be thrilled with your purchase.

The point 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...actually...better if that's at all possible.. 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. I take care of all setups or adjustments as required. I work hard to get a guitar to intonate as well as is possible while keeping action reasonably low.

Please understand that Prices may reflect my work, my time and the care that I use to care for and 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. :-)

Note that I would rather you come to my studio and walk out with your guitar.

Call me at 631-335-5447 for an appointment

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

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

You can make an offer anytime.

RETURN POLICY FOR ALL GUITARS

Every guitar has a 3 day return policy regarding Internet Transactions

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

(fully insured)

There is also a 5% or minimum $50.00 re-stocking fee for all returned guitars.

This is really a "what it took me to get it out the door and in to your hands" fee

This return policy is non-negotiable as are the shipping AND re-stocking fees.

The same applies to purchases made thru my studio (in person).

Charges will also be applicable regarding any damage sustained, finish-wise or otherwise.

Monies will be refunded, minus any applicable charges or discussed fees, including credit card fees,

after sufficient examination and evaluation of the returned instrument.

Please do not purchase if you do not agree with the above terms.

Do not attempt to negotiate any of these terms.

This is a non-starter issue as nothing stated here is negotiable.

I will always describe guitars to the best of my ability and attempt to photograph any issues.

You are always free and more than welcome to call me and discuss in detail anything about a guitar.

Please take advantage of this.

I can be reached at 631-335-5447 .... ask for Rich

I will help you in every way possible, including sending additional photographs of anything you wish to see.

I will say this many times...

I prefer that you come to the studio to inspect, play and appreciate your new guitar.

Recording Setup and Sound files

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 Audiophile 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.
