Breathtaking!  This a "working" work of art!  Unamplified, the strength and character of tone grabs you right away.  Plug 'er in and start experimenting with the selector switch and coil splitting push/pull toggle on the bocote knobs and the guitar comes to life or, rather, lives--so many sophisticated and complex voicings can be coaxed out of this thing!  The handcarved 5A Private Stock maple top is incredibly precise and responsive to a huge variety of approaches while the sapele body rounds and warms the tone, lending a subtle, natural reverb to everything you play.  The 1 23/32" nut width accomodates complex chordal arrangements though the neck is certainly swift enough to keep your fretting hand steady but never stuck.  What can't you play on this thing?!  Every note bespeaks quality without a trace of bias toward a particular genre.  Self-expression is always the goal when you pick up a guitar but it's rare to pick up an instrument that palpably works with you to achieve that goal.  Call us up and get this beauty on your doorstep today!  

A guitar's primary function is usually measured in musical terms: its ability to produce precise notes, chords and passages on demand. Consistency is the ultimate test of its perfection. But to the Master luthier and craftsman John Buscarino, this is only a beginning. John is one of the few luthiers working today; a solo artisan handcrafting guitars suited to each customer's personal needs. His instruments are prized not just for the beautiful sounds they produce, but also as the cherished possessions they inevitably become. Guitar player Steve Morse considers his Buscarino guitars "treasured works of art," as do many of John's customers.

John is unique among today's guitar builders in that he apprenticed with not one but two master luthiers. The first was Augustine LoPrinzi, from whom John learned the finer points of building classical guitars.

John later worked with famed archtop builder Robert Benedetto, spending years perfecting the woodworking skills that today make him a master luthier in his own right.

John has created hundreds of exquisite guitars using proven methods passed down over generations. He constantly refines these time-tested techniques, taking each to new levels of perfection in mastering the art of lutherie.
