John Buscarino Rhapsody German Spruce/Bolivian Rosewood (Pre-owned)
Here we have a truly wonderful acoustic guitar by master luthier John Buscarino. The Rhapsody is a flat top acoustic guitar with a carved back and is the ultimate steel-string acoustic with a jazz sound. The traditionally x-braced top is finely tuned for an exquisite, perfectly balanced sound.
This guitar was specially built for a collector and is in immaculate condition. It has a fine grade German spruce top married to a hand-carved , hand graduated Bolivian rosewood back - the top has traditional X bracing whilst the back is free of bracing which partly attributes to the guitars extraordinary power.
In essence, this is the perfect combination of an archtop back with a flat-top front which means the guitar really packs a punch.
