2014 Manuel Bellido "Áurea" Concert Classical Guitar | Facundo Martinez plays Francisco Tarrega

During my recent trip to Granada, I had the privilege of acquiring a 2014 Manuel Bellido "Áurea" concert classical guitar from the private collection of the legendary luthier himself. Preserved in pristine condition, this exceptional instrument embodies the unmatched artistry and tonal mastery of one of Granada’s most celebrated guitar makers.

Manuel Bellido, born in 1939, apprenticed under Eduardo Ferrer before co-founding a workshop with Antonio Marín Montero. Later, he established his own workshop, crafting masterpieces like the "Áurea" and mentoring the next generation of luthiers, including his brother José and sons Jesús and Mauricio.

The "Áurea" model features a German spruce top that delivers remarkable clarity and articulation, complemented by Indian rosewood back and sides for warmth and depth. Its 650mm scale length and 52mm nut width offer unparalleled playability, while the elegant French polish finish enhances its natural beauty and tonal richness. Fitted with reliable Gotoh tuners, this guitar combines precision with aesthetic sophistication.

Whether you’re a professional musician, a collector, or a connoisseur of fine instruments, the 2014 Manuel Bellido "Áurea" is a rare and invaluable piece of Granada’s guitar-making heritage.
