I tried 2 guitars in his shop and i didn't like them. I didn't either. I lived opposite his shop just down the hill from the Alhambra when I was waiting for Manuel de la Chica to finish a guitar for me. I tried many of Bellidos guitars repeatedly over several months, and couldn't find any that compared to Chica, yet they were almost twice the price. Not very percussive sounding, and they really needed new strings to sound good. Bellido was pretty well known at the time, and the craftsmanship was excellent, but the sound was disappointing. But then, I was comparing him to Chica when Chica was at his peak.
