Sound Pure's Take
A piece of history, work of art, and a fantastically idiosyncratic instrument, all in one! While it's not the final form of the Rhapsody that Buscarino ended up settling on, rest assured that this is a world class instrument in no ways incomplete or imperfect. The one piece carved back, X-braced top, and graceful cutaway make for a playing experience offered by very, very few guitars out there, flattop or archtop. Archtop players will enjoy the greater harmonic depth and tonal complexity; flattop players will marvel at the balance and precision across the entire dynamic spectrum, equal to the projection and punch that is apparent from the first note. Like nothing else!
