Belman Double Cut Grand - Aus 2005

Belman Guitars was an Australian boutique guitar brand founded by David Belman in 1994. Based in Melbourne, Belman Guitars quickly gained a reputation for producing high-quality, handcrafted electric guitars that rivalled some of the best-known brands globally. Known for their meticulous attention to detail, Belman used premium materials, such as Australian native woods like Blackwood and Queensland Maple, and incorporated top-tier components, including pickups and hardware from reputable companies.

Belman Guitars were designed with the discerning guitarist in mind, blending classic design aesthetics with modern innovation. Their instruments featured unique body contours, excellent balance, and custom finishes that made each guitar stand out both visually and sonically. The company offered several models, including the Allegiance and the Double Cut Standard, which were known for their versatility, playability, and warm tonal characteristics.

Despite their success and a loyal following, Belman Guitars ceased operations in 2007 after David Belman passed away. Today, Belman guitars are sought after by collectors and players alike due to their rarity and exceptional craftsmanship. They hold a special place in the history of Australian luthiery.

The Belman Double Cut Grand is a beautifully crafted guitar, and this particular one is in excellent condition, showing minimal signs of wear. Made from premium Queensland Maple for the body and neck, it offers a rich, resonant tone with excellent sustain. The rosewood fretboard provides a smooth, fast-playing surface, complemented by Kluson style tuners for reliable tuning stability. This model features the Belman vintage neck pickup and hot vintage bridge pickup, delivering a wide tonal range from warm, clean tones to thick, punchy overdrive, making it ideal for rock, blues, and beyond. With its double-cutaway design, it is similar in style and playability to PRS guitars, allowing for effortless access to higher frets. The natural finish highlights the flame maple, and overall, this Double Cut Grand is a rare, well-preserved example of Belman's renowned craftsmanship.
