2008 Benedetto Bambino Maple, Espresso Finish
Here we have a post-Fender Bob Benedetto “Bambino.” Don’t let its small stature fool you — it’s got a voice big enough to fill a room. Designed with the gigging musician in mind, this guitar is lightweight and compact. Its laminated maple top and back and maple neck are designed for comfort. The two nickel plated Benedetto A6 pickups are all you’ll need. If you’re looking for a huge sound in a compact package, the Bambino was designed by The Master himself with you in mind.
Brand New Blue Arch Big Bang Archtop, African Padauk/Western Red Cedar
Our own Paul Heumiller said, “Dreaming on a guitar like this is easy.” What more is there to say? Gorgeous aesthetic, powerful sound and a fit and finish that screams pristine. This instrument is powerful and inspirational. Dressed in African Padauk and Western Red Cedar, this ain’t your grandpa’s archtop, but it sounds like it would have been. It’s no coincidence this instrument has been dubbed “Big Bang.” That is as much of a descriptor as it is a title, both unplugged and amplified it’s resonance is prominent. From the carbon fiber bracing, to its custom humbucker this guitar seems to have neverending features that draw the player in. Listen and see for yourself.

Made for the 2024 Artisan Guitar Show, this Bram “The Tribute” archtop guitar features Mahogany for the back and sides, and Sitka Spruce for the top. The Tribute embodies all the DNA and makings of a classic archtop guitar, shaped into the profile of a Telecaster. With its “T-Style” cutaway, F-holes, adjustable ebony bridge, floating ebony pickguard, and a Kent Armstrong pickup, this is a very unique piece. The carved top has steep ridges along the cutaway and smooth doming on the bass side of the upper bout. Truly a beautiful and unique guitar to behold.

Buscarino Virtuoso from 2012: Big Leaf Maple and Master Grade Carpathian Spruce. Wow, what a special creation we have here. Featuring a stunning burst finish and Art Nouveau inlays, this guitar is as decadent as it is sonorous—a rare combination that coincides beautifully. Incredible for nearly any application, it would be hard for a guitar enthusiast of any persuasion or background not to feel somewhat enamored by this jazz box, which, quite frankly, can do so much more. Look and listen for yourself, folks—this is truly a masterpiece from John Buscarino

According to the dictionary, the word ‘rhapsody’ means: ‘an effusively enthusiastic or ecstatic expression of feeling.’ This is an appropriate name for this 2021 16″ Archtop from John Buscarino. It features 100-year-old aged and seasoned Sitka spruce on top, with lightly figured and flamed mahogany for the back and sides. The guitar includes Buscarino’s signature leaf soundport, EVO frets, a Buscarino humbucker paired with a James May Ultratonic pickup system that can be blended via controls on the floating pickguard, which is made of Malaysian Blackwood. Nearly every other appointment on this guitar — including the fingerboard, adjustable bridge, tailpiece, and headplate — is also crafted from Malaysian Blackwood.

A beautiful, atypical Buscarino Electric Hybrid guitar capable of a variety of sounds. The combination of a chambered Ash body and Tiger Maple neck is simply wonderful.

2006 Buscarino Mira Ash/Birdseye Maple
John Buscarino’s Mira solid-body electric boasts top-of-the-line components, select-grade woods and John’s fanatical attention to detail. You’ve got to check out this bird’s eye maple neck yourself — striking! The Mira comes with three of John’s finest custom pickups. The result is a guitar with voices for your every genre — jazz, rock, funk… whatever! Pickup-wise, there’s a high-output Alnico 5 in the rear, one Alnico 3 in the middle (with the coils facing each other in the center for a fat single coil sound), and one Alnico 3 in the front with series parallel wiring and a push pull pot to go from a warm jazz sound to a brighter single-coil sound. Controlling all this power is a five-position switch. It’s a fantastic setup guaranteed to get nearly ANY sound you need out of an electric guitar!
19921993 Buscarino Telstar Basswood/None
John Buscarino is a premier Luthier well known for creating some of the very finest archtops, electrics and nylon strings. Here we have a custom Telestar from 1992/3 and man is it a cool guitar. It features a satin Maple neck with a rosewood board on a slim, solid Tele style body and pair of active EMG pickups that really sound amazing. It was easy for us to get Robben Ford like tones out of this guitar, the midrange is strong and it’s easy to put just on the verge of feedback for a very vocal sort of tone. It plays like a dream and has been kept in perfect condition by it’s only owner.
2005 Buscarino Jazz Strat Swamp Ash/Swamp Ash
The Jazz Strat was created by John Buscarino to the discriminating player who prefers a solid body sound and feel but stills seeks a clean and pure tone and the perfect playability that all Buscarino’s share. You immediately know this is a fine handmade guitar lightyears ahead of a factory strat, the thick ebony fingerboard, stainless steel frets and hand shaped neck heel and body contour give the feel of quality. The Swamp Ash body pulls all the tone from the 2 single coil and 1 humbucking pickups for an array of tonal possibilities. Even distorted this guitar sounds beautiful and musical. If you’ve been craving a top-shelf electric guitar properly suited for Jazz, blues and even rock, this is your Buscarino.
