    Thinking of pulling the trigger on a used beautiful Virtuoso. How has your experience been as an owner of these beautiful instruments?

    Hey Jaco,
    Welcome to the Forum!

    You will likely only find "99.9%" satisfaction from Buscarino owners, and if you can afford one (between $11-30K USD) -- good for you!!

    Do you have any concerns about the particular one you're considering, or just doing due diligence before spending a ton of money? Again, you'll be hard-pressed to find "problems" with them, as John is considered to be one of the Best.

    Please share pics when you purchase it, and enjoy!

    I have a Virtuoso on order from him due next year. I placed that order after playing his arched back / flat top acoustic guitar. My reasoning was anyone who could get that sound out of a purely acoustic instrument would be able to build a world class archtop.

    amen, and he is a good guy as well. I've loved my grand cabaret (built for Gene Bertoncini) since the 90's.

    Not an owner but one of the finest acoustic Archtops I’ve ever played was a Buscarino Artisan some years back. And that’s compared to Campellone,Megas,Comins, Benedetto, D’ANGELICO, D’Aquisto originals as well!
