AUTHORIZED BARTOLEX USA DEALER
2009 Bartolex
10-String Guitar
Up for consideration is a brand new, wonderful-sounding
Bartolex 10-String
classical guitar, with all solid woods and a solid cedar top.
This is new, old-stock model with Ramirez fan bracing, and it
is from the same Bartolex line that I personally play. Click

for my review of my own
guitar. Click HERE
for 1270 Hi-resolution photos of this guitar. This model is no
longer in standard production, as it has a lot of high-end details
that are very expensive to make. So here is your chance to get
this amazing new guitar right away, without having to wait or
place a custom order. The street price for the current model
guitar is $1699 -- with laminated back and sides, so here is
a rare chance to get an all solid wood concert 10-string guitar
at a tremendous discount. This deal will not last long, and when
these last few guitars are gone this great price will be gone
as well.

Bartolex is a guitar company founded by Argentinian luthier
and guitarist Neris Gonzales, with production based in
a high-quality Artisian Workshop in China. The result is a great
guitar design with a master-grade cedar top and workmanship,
at a very affordable price (Click here for my Cathedral
Guitar Interview with Neris). Click here for additional

| 3 . The sound,
both acoustically and recorded, is wonderful. I personally am
endorsing this maker of 10-string guitars, because I have already
played several dozen gigs this year on my Bartolex guitar,
and I'm continually astounded at how good these guitars are.
This guitar is the answer to my personal dream of having a quality
10-string guitar in standard production at an affordable price
-- and perhaps it will be for you as well.
I have played and owned many multi-string classical guitars,
and this instrument rivals, equals or surpasses many hand-made
guitars currently selling in the 3k - 6k range. This guitar has
a master-grade solid cedar top, solid East Indian Rosewood back
& Sides, ebony fretboard, and creates a beautifully-balanced
Spanish sound with rounded trebles, deep basses, and excellent
resonance and sympathetic sustain. The low bass response is particularly
good on this guitar. Many low A strings sound weak and tubby,
but the lattice bracing creates a wondeful balance across all
the registers, and creates a very even response all thw way down
to low A.
I have the guitar tuned in Romantic/Baroque tuning,
a standard 10-string tuning: 1-6 is normal, and 7-10 descend
step-wise: 7=D, 8=C, 9=B, 10 =A. Strings By Mail
has a great selection of 10-string sets and can put together
custom sets for you at a discount over individual strings.

for recording nylon-string guitar tracks in any musical style:

In short, this guitar is a great concert and/or recording guitar
for any intermediate to advanced-level player, and it would make
a great guitar for concerts, recitals, local gigs, as well as
recording studio projects. It is also the ideal guitar for first
getting into the world of Multi-String guitars, as it is a very
affordable, easy-to-play, and a great-sounding instrument.
