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 spruce top and workmanship,
at a very affordable price (Click here for my Cathedral
Guitar Interview with Neris). Click here for additional

both acoustically and recorded, is wonderful. I personally am
endorsing this line of 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, laminated 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.
This guitar is relatively easy to play. The neck is . Additionally,
the guitar can be tuned at a higher pitch with the proper guage
of strings, so you can play Renaissance lute music at the same
pitch that would be used when played using a lute.
