This is Dupont's much anticipated copy of the classic Busato design. It
is a near exact copy, with the classic Busato proportions: 670mm scale
length and a 16 1/4" body size. It also features the famous Busato
bombe (top arch) which is more curved then Favinos or Selmers. Like the
originals, this guitar also has a beautifully arched back.
This guitar has a Sitka spruce top, gorgeous European Maple back and
sides, Ebony binding, a three piece Walnut/Ebony neck, a vintage finish
and the deluxe Busato tuners.
The sound is very close to the originals, and in many cases is almost
indistinguishable. Like the vintage Busatos, this guitar has a bright,
dry tone with a very clear, bell like high end. Busatos are built for
cutting power and Dupont has definitely succeeded in achieving that.
Generally, Busatos are some of the loudest Gypsy guitars ever built and
this guitar lives up to that tradition.
If you're looking for a screaming high end then this is THE guitar for
you! This Sitka/Maple Busato has a noticeably more aggressive, punchy
high end then the sweeter sounding European Spruce/Brazilian Busato.
This powerful guitar is the quintessential campfire jam machine...will
cut through anything!!! Bring your ear plugs....
