He recently sent me this email:

"I can tell you that this is one of the best ones I have built so far. Everything just went right on this one both aesthetically and tonally..."

 

 

Built from European Cello Woods - an upgraded option. The European Wood for a Buscarino guitar usually comes from Germany. It is $1,200.00 extra and there are a few different reasons why The European Wood costs more:

First, it is aged a lot longer than the American Woods, and the more the wood is aged the better it is for instrument wood tonally and structurally (and of course the more it's aged the more it costs). The second reason is it has less of the grain that runs opposite the Flame which gives it a much cleaner look than the American Woods; lastly it is a much whiter wood and gives a very pristine quality to the overall appearance of the instrument.
