About This Listing

2013 John Buscarino Cabaret Nylon Crossover guitar. 

Please review newly uploaded detail pics. (Serial Number obscured for privacy) Pics without annotation show no issues at common 'pain' points of a used guitar.

Original owner. Purchased directly from John Buscarino. 

Never gigged. Studio use only. Guitar is in excellent condition. See pics for reference.

Brilliant design with modern updates to the 'old world' lutherie traditions!

The Buscarino Cabaret is a versatile instrument and a joy to play.

Comfortable to cradle with a design that brings out the best in anyones playing style. Based on the designs of Herman Hauser, combined with the techniques of archtop guitar construction, the John Buscarino designed and hand built Cabaret has a wonderful tone with a projection and balance that is consistent in all performance venues. This instrument is not a museum piece. It is meant to be used as a tool to unleash the ultimate potential of musical expression. The fact that it's also beautiful to look at doesn't hurt;)

Some of the standout touches to this particular build:

- 14 3-8” Body Width | Body Depth from 3and 3/4” to 4 1/8” Tapered | Neck Width 1-15/16”.

- 25.5” Scale

- Master Grade Madagascar Rosewood Back and Sides

- Arched, carved back

- Master Grade Engleman Spruce Top

- One Piece Honduran Mahogany Neck

- 20 Frets

- Figured Ziricote headstock veneer with a mix heartwood and sapwood creating a unique signature appearance

- Brazilian Rosewood Variable Downbearing Bridge

- Hand Carved Floral Side Port in Upper Bout

- Barbara Soloist Pickup with internal pre-amp. Volume and tone wheels in sound hole.

- Gotoh Supreme Tuners with Ebony Buttons

- High Gloss Nitro-cellulose lacquer

- Curly Koa Binding

- 2-way adjustable truss rod

- Hiscox Artist Flight Case

Basic description of the Cabaret Model from the Buscarino 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 FINGERSTYLE PLAYER, THE CABARET IS BASED ON THE HERMAN HAUSER I CLASSICAL GUITAR DESIGN.

THE CABARET INCORPORATES TRADITIONAL CLASSICAL BUILDING METHODS WITH THE 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.
