2019 Borghino BB1, Italian Walnut/Italian Spruce
Italy’s Mirko Borghino has collaborated with Italy’s Francesco Buzzurro for this boutique hybrid archtop nylon string 2019 BB1 equally at home for jazz and the classical repertoire. An arched Italian Walnut body is paired with a carved Italian Spruce top from the Val di Fiemme, Alessi tuners, and the dynamite Graph Tech Ghost nylon string pickup system. This offers both 1/4” and MIDI outputs plus volume knobs for both outputs, and bass, treble, mid, and mid sweep tone. So many options! The Borghino BB1 is immensely fun to play, hands down. It handles a wide range of styles and attacks with aplomb, plays effortlessly, and has a lively and quick response that translates perfectly from an acoustic setting into amplified territory.

A rare delight which we are so grateful to offer up today: a 2019 Michel Brück Double Top with Brazilian Rosewood and Cedar. The quality of the tonewoods and the fit and finish alone makes for an exquisite instrument. Then there’s the sheer amount of color and dynamism, power and projection, that Brück manages to coax out of the build—that’s what makes this a lifetime instrument. Rodgers tuners add elegance to the aesthetic package, and a slim build weight just over three pounds makes this an effortless guitar to play; and with an elevated fingerboard you’ve got better access to those uppermost frets. Additionally, Brück added side dots at the fifth and seventh frets for creature comfort. This one is in a class all its own.
