What we think:

This guitar is a prototype model from John Buscarino based on the Monarch series. It boasts many rare features--most notably, MIDI control capability via the RMC Poly-Drive pickup system. It's not every day you come across an archtop with this technology--and even less often will you see it from one of the best luthiers in the world! This thing is truly one-of-a-kind! The guitar exhibits some signs of performance wear and it has been played extensively enough for the woods to mature and open up very nicely. While it may not be one of those mint condition pieces you hang on the wall, it certainly is a player's guitar and a dynamic, versatile workhorse that longs to be played. It does what all truly special instruments do--it makes you want to play more!

The MIDI compatability opens up an entirely new world of sound and expression with the included Roland GR-33 guitar synthesizer. When it's time to get some traditional archtop sounds, simply plug in to the 1/4" jack and instantly you've got the sound, feel, and quality that has built John Buscarino's reputation as one of the premier archtop luthiers around the globe.
