Two GREAT new guitars from luthier Chuck Baleno!
We are huge fans of Baleno instruments, and proud to be his exclusive dealer. We have two great new guitars to show off, complete with pics and videos...
Baleno Size 2 Parlor, Engelmann spruce, East Indian rosewood - $3395 This wonderful little machine, our favorite 24.5″ scale “Size 2″ parlor from talented luthier Chuck Baleno. There’s nothing small about the sound of this guitar, its Engelmann spruce top is easily excited, and the East Indian rosewood back and sides help to create a surprising volume and depth. Other features include a full bolt-on neck joint, two-way truss rod, 1 3/4″ compensated bone nut, compensated bone saddle with 2 1/4″ string spacing, hide glue construction, stainless steel frets… this little box has it all! And it’s a looker to be sure, featuring Mr. Baleno’s hand-made multi-color purfling, maple bindings, a beautiful sunburst and some of the best fit and finish that we’ve seen from any builder, anywhere! Follow this link to the listing with more pictures! ------------ Baleno 0-14, Adirondack spruce, East Indian rosewood - $2950 This little beauty has the premium grade Adirondack and East Indian Rosewood that we expect from Chuck, along with some beautiful pearly appointments and flamed maple binding… the styling is not unlike what we see on some of the more decked-out Larrivée and Froggy Bottom instruments. But under the hood, there is technology to spare: a full bolt-on neck joint, carbon fiber reinforced neck with two-way adjustable truss rod, and a compensated bone nut and saddle for uncanny intonation, just for starters. The tone is warm but crisp. The old cliché “it sounds bigger than it looks” certainly applies here. This guitar has tiny guitar sparkle and clarity, but big guitar presence… not a dreadnought rumble by any stretch, but this O will bow to no OM. Others specs, for the spec-inclined: 1 3/4″ nut width, 2 1/4″ spacing at the saddle, Waverly tuners with ebony buttons, ebony fingerboard/bridge/pins. We don’t know how much longer we’ll be able to offer these fantastic, American-made guitars at these wallet-friendly prices. The time is right for you to familiarize yourself with Mr. Baleno’s work! Includes hardshell case and lifetime warranty to the original owner. Follow this link for the listing with more pictures!
