1995 Buscarino Cabaret American Sycamore/Cedar
We are thrilled to have another rare preowned Buscarino Cabaret. This example from 1995 features a carved back of American Sycamore and a Cedar top. It is also outfitted with John’s own Implant pickup system as well as an RMC Pickup System with 6 individual pickups/saddles and the RMC Polydrive Preamp built in. Each pickup has it’s own output so you can drive an amp via the 1/4″ jack or a MIDI synthesizer via a 13 pin DIN connector. Perfect for the gigging musician.
Here are some thoughts about the Cabaret model from the Buscarino Guitars Website: “THE CABARET is the perfect blend of traditional classical guitar and an acoustic archtop guitar. Specifically designed to meet the needs of the jazz or fingersytle player, the CABARET is based on the Herman Hauser I classical guitar design. The CABARET incorporates traditional classical building methods with modern innovations necessary for today’s jazz and fingerstyle playing. The graceful cutaway facilitates greater access for playing the upper register of the fretboard. Its carved back, unique among nylon-string guitars, enhances the lower midrange while aiding in projection. The two-way adjustable truss rod gives easy access at the headstock for a perfect set-up.”

2006 Somogyi OM Brazilian/European Custom Radial Back Bracing
Ervin Somogyi was a pioneer in fingerstyle guitar. His designs emphasizing the qualities that fingerstylist need were a big part of the acoustic guitar phenomenon that started with Windham Hill Records.

Today Ervin Somogyi is one of our true Masters and passes on his knowledge by teaching voicing to many well-known modern makers. Playing just a few notes on this Brazilian Rosewood OM you realize just how unique and special a Somogyi guitar is. This is unlike anything else you’ve ever played.
