That’s a lot of guitar for the money!

Great price for a Bellido. Looks in great condition. Flamenco guitars are better - in my opinion - for crossover stuff than classical guitars. They can do a lot more than flamenco.

Rob, I am intrigued by your message. Could you please elaborate a little more on what you mean by "crossover stuff" and "a lot more than flamenco"? I ask as I purchase a Cordoba Stage over a year ago and love it. It's specifically a crossover as I was a bit hesitant timid with a true classical type guitar having only known traditional electric guitars. But I have been intrigued with classical guitars for sometime.
Thanks

Subjective, of course, but here goes:

I've always been more interested in "crossover" guitars than in pure, traditional classicals, and back when I was researching what I'd buy as my 1st guitar several people suggested I looked at flamenco guitars which according to them were the ultimate crossover guitars. It sounds logical: crossovers are nylon stringers designed to be more accessible to and appropriate for steel-string acoustic players. More often than not they'll use them in some more or less "folksy" kind of style, and in a way a flamenco guitar is a "folksy" variant of the classical/Spanish guitar.
From what I understand:
- a flamenco typically has a low action for faster and more percussive playing where slapping strings is either not a problem or actually part of the style/effect.
-They're usually lighter build and you may apparently encounter quite different bracing patterns (someone on the Delchimp forum built a flamenco with something very similar to parallel bracing, and it worked fine). As with archtops there's more emphasis on power than on sustain, and basses will be more growly than boomy.
Set up a flamenco as a classical guitar and I doubt many people will hear anything that gives them pause (and only see something off if the guitar has a traditional peddle head). A guy in my guitar class plays on a flamenco blanca and I only caught on to that because I realised that the B&S were lightly stained cypress and not a very blonde kind of mahogany...

I play all sorts of music on my flamenca. At the risk of turning the thread into a Rob McK feature, here’s a sample:

Great performance, Steve. Nice to hear it again.

Hi from Houston…. Lovely guitar by an esteemed luthier. As others have noted, a blanca can handle other genres and you can easily raise the action with a second saddle to increase sustain. That is a great price for a master built guitar!

The Bellido flamenco is a gorgeous guitar in its deceptively understated elegance...
And the price seems more than reasonable.
-
Thanks for all your comments.
This is such a a great guitar that I am now considering raising the price and maybe it will sell faster!
I am only selling it because I am thinning the herd and downsizing,
but I may just keep it and will post it with a higher price in the near future.

Is this is the only place where you posted it? If so you'd do good to post it also on a forum where it'd be more in line with the general interest. And/or maybe change the title to lure in people who might not be aware that a flamenco could be what they're looking for.
That video above leaves one wanting to hear more!
I'm guessing the instrument came with a CITES certificate if it indeed contains BRW? Might be worth mentioning in that case!

There’s lots of videos of this specific guitar on YouTube. It’s an easy find for anyone interested.
