Sound Pure's Take

Incredible! I am always amazed at how well Buscarinos open up as they age. Comfortable, responsive, and smooth as butter, this is what a masterpiece feels like when it has been well cared-for and given a few years to come into its own. This Monarch also features a few custom specs that make it extremely unique, like the highly figured Birdseye Maple body, the 3-piece Birdseye neck, and the custom midnight blue sunburst finish. Don't miss out on this opportunity to get an amazing deal on a rare, customized masterpiece from one of the world's most respected and in-demand archtop luthiers! Call Sound Pure today for more information about this one-of-a-kind instrument!
