New 2019 bel.Sonique OS-13 handmade guitar. Master built by Ian Blakey, Phoenix, AZ

Commentary from Luthier/builder Ian Blakey: "Our mission is to bring back the craftsmanship, and hand-tooling from a time period we consider the "Golden Age" of guitar making; 1950 to the early 1960's.

Each guitar starts out as an individual rough sawn plank, chosen for its unique figure and grain. The wood is then paired to make a 2-piece body, milled to the desired thickness, and hand-tooled to the bel.Sonique shape. Sanded and sealed, the 2-piece, seldom used 3-piece body is then sprayed with a Nitrocellulose base coat and clear coat if needed. The bodies are fitted with cooled rolled/stainless steel, bridges, control and neck plates, as well
as age specific hardware and tuners. Your bel.Sonique guitar is crafted in a way that our only
concern is to provide you a unique, custom instrument, with at truly "handmade" one of a kind
feel."
