Bartolex
8-String Guitar

Up for consideration is a new Bartolex SRC8 8-String classical harp guitar, with hardshell case. Bartolex has now been in business for over 10 years, and with a total of over 500 multi-string guitars sold, we are celebrating our anniversary with a big discount on our 8-String guitars. This is a brand new 8-string Bartolex that sounds fantastic, and already represents a tremendous discount to luthier-made 8-string guitars costing several times as much. It comes with a 3-day, Satisfaction Guarantee return policy, and a 1-year warranty. The normal selling price for our 8-strings is $1,795 -- but here is a one-time opportunity to get a brand new one at a $400 discount!!!

Bartolex is a guitar company founded by Madrid-based luthier / designer / guitarist Neris Gonzalez, with production based in the highest-quality Artisian Workshop in China. The result is a great custom guitar design with highest-quality all-solid tonewoods and workmanship, at a very affordable price (Click here for my Cathedral Guitar Interview with Neris). Click here for additional Milagro/Bartolex reviews 1 | 2 | 3 | 4. The sound, both acoustically and amplified, is fantastic. I personally am endorsing Bartolex multi-string guitars and am selling them on eBay and through Bartolex USA because I have already played hundreds of gigs on my own Milagro / Cathedral / Bartolex guitars (all designed by Neris), and I'm continually amazed at how good these guitars are. These guitars are the answer to my personal dream of having high-quality, multi-string guitar in standard production, at an affordable price -- and maybe it will be for you as well.

MILAGRO / BARTOLEX
Milagro, Bartolex, and Cathedral Guitars are all designed by Neris Gonzalez, who also supervises production at the very best western-trained Artisan Workshop in China. Milagro is the all-solid, top-of-the-line model, with premium woods and the best possible materials and workmanship, but still at an affordable price. Bartolex is the mid-line models, with choice of spruce or cedar tops, and many options and custom features. Cathedral Guitars represents the entry-level line, with solid cedar tops and Mahogany back and sides, and simple appointments.

I have played and owned dozens of multi-string classical guitars, and this instrument rivals, equals or surpasses most luthier-built guitars in the 3k - 6k range. This guitar has a AAA-grade solid Cedar top, laminated East Indian Rosewood back & Sides, rosewood fretboard, and creates a beautifully-balanced sound with nice trebles, deep basses, and amazing resonance and sympathetic sustain.

STRINGS
I have the guitar tuned in a standard 8-string tuning where 1-6 are tuned normally, and 7=D, 8=A. Strings By Mail has a great selection of 8-string sets, and can put together custom sets for you at a discount over individual strings. Several excellent string manufacturers offer multi-string sets, including D'Addario, Hannabach, and Savarez.

In short, this guitar is a wonderful concert guitar and/or recording/performing guitar for any intermediate to professional-level player, and it would make a great guitar for classical concerts, recitals, local amplified gigs, as well as recording studio projects.

"The guitar is is very well built and is simply beautiful -- I love how it looks and how it feels. The thickness of the neck is perfect and feels very comfortable. Overall, I am very pleased with the guitar. And I must say I feel VERY thankful for people like you for making the dream of owning a multi-stringed guitar a reality.
