Sound Pure's Take

This Starlight totally blew me away when I pulled it off the wall to write a review. This is a guitarist's guitar, in the way that Paco De Lucia is a guitarist's guitarist, plain and simple. There's such a wonderful and delightful warm tone when this guitar is run through a transparent acoustic amp, you get the feeling that this instruments' true voice is the one it'll have when it's onstage. The figured maple top is absolutely gorgeous, and although this is an instrument that deserves to be played, it is also a work of art worth showcasing.

Condition: Used, Great

Great condition starlight, only has some very minor blemishes in the finish (pictured.)

From Buscarino Guitars

The Starlight Nylon is a Thin Body Electric Acoustic Classical Guitar. Starting with a one piece body of Swamp Ash a sound chamber is created by hollowing out the inside of the body. The sound chamber helps produce some acoustic tone unplugged which allows the player to hear the guitar in practice situations or other settings where plugging in is undesirable and adds a more natural tone when plugged in. The Top is braced using a Lattice bracing pattern which helps to strengthen the top and give a little more punch to the acoustic tone. The bolt on neck with our exclusive DeadBolt Neck Joint Design gives you that neck thru body feel with the convenience of a bolt on neck. The heel is rounded and smooth making the guitar more confortable to play and gives easier access to the upper frets. The DeadBolt Neck Joint adds superior strength to the Neck and increased sustain to your tone. The pickup is the Barbera Soloist which has a clear and natural sound, reduced string noise, a high threshold before feedfack and perfect string balance. Perfect for large band applications or any setting where more volume is needed.
