For all of you crossover players out there, this is a beautiful piece of work by John Buscarino. It’s his nylon-strung Starlight model, and it’s every bit as lovely to play as it is to look at. John really hit a home run with this design. We’ve played a lot of hybrid classical-electrics, and this is as good as they come. Great playability, strikingly handsome looks, and a sweet tone that would do Antonio Carlos Jobim proud.

The Buscariino Starlight is a purpose driven design that offers the gigging musician great feel and tone in an instrument that's easy to hold sitting or standing. This one was custom made for one of John's top customers and has several special touches that make it outstanding.
The body shape should appeal to electric players and the crossover classical neck will appeal to the acoustic players. It's a great hybrid with lots of style.
