Commemorating 35 years of master luthiery by John Buscarino,
the Autumn Leaves 35th Anniversary Guitar is truly a sight to behold. Even if you’re not a guitar enthusiast
(and if not, why not?!), you can appreciate the elegance and beauty of this
magnificent piece. It is a one-of-a-kind work of art, and you can see why John
Buscarino has been in this line of business for more than three decades. We
here at Fine Archtops would like to congratulate John on his 35 years in the
business and for creating this custom guitar that is both beautiful in
aesthetics and in tone.
Part of what makes this archtop guitar so unique and
breathtaking is its back. A tree is carved onto the back of it as a sort of
homage to what it provides every luthier out there – wood. The guitar’s inlay
also has a tree-themed carving: leaves. The headstock inlay features an ornate
tree, and the Buscarino logo was added in a stealthy way so it looks like it is
woven between the branches of the tree.
And to keep with the tree theme, leaves were carved into the
fingerboard. There was no pattern to the leaves either so they would resemble
leaves falling from a tree as they would in nature. Even the tailpiece and pickguard include
falling leaves! It was the perfect way to tie the entire theme of the guitar
together, and we couldn’t be happier with the way this amazing guitar turned
out.
The Autumn Leaves Guitar is one of the most beautiful and
detailed guitars we have ever had the pleasure to see. And when you hear the
incredible quality of its tone, you will understand why we love it so much.
