Sound Pure's Take

Nothing short of incredible! As soon as I took it out of the case, I was hypnotized by the beautiful macassar ebony back and sides. More subtle features include intricate appointments like the striking snakewood binding and the black mother of pearl tuner buttons. This guitar sounds even and balanced anywhere on the neck and the intonation is superb. The tone is similar to a boutique nylon string classical guitar but with an extra touch of fullness and punch from the arched back. The sustain is incredible and the overtones are lush. I would especially like to point out the pickup system put together by John Buscarino, it is probably the warmest and most pleasing amplified acoustic sound I have ever heard.

From Buscarino Guitars

The Cabaret is the perfect blend of traditional classical guitar and an acoustic archtop guitar. Specifically designed to meet the needs of the jazz or fingersytle player, the Cabaret is based on the Herman Hauser I classical guitar design. The Cabaret incorporates traditional classical building methods with the modern innovations necessary for today's jazz and fingerstyle playing. The graceful cutaway facilitates greater access for playing the upper register of the fretboard. Its arched carved back, unique among nylon-string guitars, enhances the lower midrange while aiding in projection. The two-way adjustable truss-rod gives easy access at the headstock for a perfect set-up. Special pickup systems are available for amplification of that beautiful acoustic sound.
