2009 Buscarino Guitars Starlight Nylon String - Nylon string Electric Classical Guitar

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.

Dream Guitars Player's Review:
"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. " - Paul Heumiller

"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." - Al Petteway

"I played almost nothing but Brazilian music for about ten years of my life, and I'd have been very happy to be playing it on this guitar. Comfortable, attractive, extremely playable, and sonically pleasing. This is a great gigging guitar for the jazzer who digs bossa/samba or the classical player doing gigs in the corner. " - Al Schlimm

Another Satisfied Dream Guitars Customer:
"Enjoyed visiting your shop today, what a fantastic display of guitars. The guitar I purchased was just as you described it to be - Looks, Sound, Feel etc. Man was I happy about that. It's good to know there are some honest people left. You made my wife and I feel at home. Thanks for helping me get One Super Guitar consider me 100% satisfied, and telling the World where they can get one too." - Dr. J. Johnson, Up State of S.C.
