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.
I love this guitar. I cut my teeth on a Tele and have always loved the simple shape. This guitar has a superb neck, the satin finish is smooth and has that broken-in feel. The pickups are wonderful, they are active EMG and it's easy to get a snappy clean sound or Robben Ford style sqaulk. Played through our Carr amp it seems very vocal with wonderful midrange presence. This is a great example of why custom electrics are so much better than the factories can turn out... 
If you are looking for a guitar with a small neck and a big sound, this could be it. I was amazed at how easy I could get that "Larry Carlton/Robben Ford tone from this instrument and it's pickups. | Scale Length | 25.4 in |
