This is a "custom" Artisan archtop guitar from John R. Buscarino, made in 2010. The guitar is in perfect condition (very light use and well cared for).
This model has upgraded woods (mastergrade European cello, highly figured maple, ...) and finish (binding, inlays, frets, ...). This particular model also features a new parallel bracing. This guitar is almost a Virtuoso Model (at less than half the price).
