Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
SP Luthier Notes: The guitar required a full adjustment to the truss rod, nut, and bridge to be brought to a perfect level of playability. No further work was required.
Anybody who has ever laid hands on a Buscarino can tell you how special these instruments are, and this guitar is no exception. Woody sounding and simply put, "alive," this is a guitar that is not only a joy to play but one that really inspires you to play differently. Many of us here at SoundPure found ourselves chasing sounds on this guitar that, if it were anything else, would not have happened. In both parts simple and ornate, tis is a beautiful guitar. One pickup and a couple of knobs, but look at that mastergrade Sitka Spruce top or the flamed maple back/sides, or the vine inlay on the fingerboard...the best guitars are the ones that, however sophisticated they may look, offer a level of honesty and really a simple if delightful playing experience. This guitar changed our perspectives on what a good guitar can be, and it'll change yours too!
