FOR SALE: Stochelo Rosenberg's ‘petit bouche’ Busato (1938 - 1940)
After Selmer a guitar from Bernabe Busato is probably one of the most sought after guitars.
Besides his Selmer 503 Django Reinhardt owned and played a Busato.
They are great sounding guitars. The guitar for sale is made somewhere between 1938 and 1940 (some Busato’s do have a label glued to the heel block. These labels don’t hold a serial numbers or date of construction). One of the characteristic features
of this type of Busato guitar is the arched back. Obviously to create more air volume in the sound chamber. This contributes to the sound of the guitar.
This is one of the six Busato’s I restored. Although the years are showing on the guitar it is in good shape. The tailpiece and the tuners are original and engraved with the trademark of Busato ‘BB’. The top have some cracks but the are all secured from the inside. Neck, top, back and sides are all original. The playability and the tone of the instrument are outstanding. I am selling this guitar for Stochelo Rosenberg.
> The guitar is for sale at 12.500 euro.

Included in the price is a hard shell case,
