2023 Buscarino Rhapsody — if you were to look up the word ‘rhapsody’ in an encyclopedia, you might just find a picture of this guitar next to it, or at least the expression one might have while hearing or playing this fine instrument. Dressed in stunning Pomelle Sapele — ‘pomelle’ referring to the unique, swirling, quilted, or ‘blistered’ grain pattern that resembles rippling water or a three-dimensional effect on the wood’s surface, also known as chatoyance. WE LOVE CHATOYANCE, and this guitar has it in droves.
It has a German spruce top with a unique bearclaw figuring — not a scratch, folks, but the natural beauty of the grain. Gold Gotoh tuners with elegant snakewood buttons, an oak leaf-shaped soundport, and a gorgeous Celtic Trinity (Triquetra) inlay in a beautiful teal blue on the headplate complete the look. This guitar is simply awesome, and it could be yours.
