Bob Kochis Buscarino Grand Cabaret owner We have never met but I have become the proud owner of your most recent Grand Cabaret Guitar. It is a rare treasure expected to remain in my family for generations (my son also plays guitar).  Although we do not know each other your guitar says a lot about you and your strong character and talents. The Grand Cabaret expresses some of finest workmanship and beauty I have ever seen.  It is truly a work of art created with great care, knowledge, love and passion. The Grand Cabaret honors me with an amazing truth of character and sound. Its full sound is wonderful with many nuances I discover each time I play it.  It shows me a fine balance of clarity, evenness, warmth and strength.  I discover more and more each time I play.  What an adventure this guitar is. The playability is fun.  It is a dream flying through note after note, sounds after sounds with such ease and pleasure. John thank you so much for allowing me to have and play such a guitar.  I am truly honored.
	Dave Van Schoyck Buscarino Custom Artisan owner My Buscarino Custom Artisan is the crown jewel of my guitar collection. It’s the only one I pick up and play every single day. It’s the only one I refuse to take out of the house (except to record and take photos.) John assures me it would hold up fine. I bought several expensive arch tops before ordering my Artisan. They are very, very nice guitars. But I was driven for some reason to find more. For years I thought maybe I was just obsessed with owning lots of guitars. It’s been more than two years now since my Buscarino arrived and I haven’t lusted after an instrument since. John is as good a guy to work with as you will find. The process of choosing and agreeing on specifications is great fun. (I’ve had disappointing experiences with other builders.) Honestly, I left most of the details up to John. He has a great understanding for what his customer wants and he knows how to make a guitar - he’s the best.
	Bob Yelin Buscarino Monarch owner For thirty-six years, I have owned or played some of the finest archtop guitars ever made. You worked closely with me to make sure that everything I wanted in looks, playability and design would be exactly as I wanted. Your suggestions were not only creative but very helpful. John, you surpassed all my expectations!! I couldn’t be happier nor prouder of having this guitar to love! I cannot thank you enough.
	John Zweig Buscarino Cabaret owner I have to say that this Cabaret model has become my favorite guitar. You have really captured something here. It plays just beautifully, the acoustical sound is very sweet, and you have even managed to translate this into a natural amplified sound. It is rare when the quality of craftsmanship motivates this kind of enthusiasm but I really appreciate your having taken the time and attention to quality that resulted in the pleasure I am getting out of your guitar.
	Stan Guy Grand Cabaret owner I want to thank you for the beautiful work you did in making my Grand Cabaret. Everyone nearly “ooooohs” themselves to death over it. It is truly, as you advertise, a work of art and a testament to your great craftsmanship. I look forward to a lifetime of enjoyment playing it.
	Alberto Pena Buscarino Grand Cabaret owner I am completely satisfied with my guitar. Thank you for an excellent instrument. I have had it almost a year and a half and every time I take it out to play, it feels like the first time. My guitar playing friends that have played the guitar absolutely enjoy it. Needless to say, so do I. Not only the sound, but the way it feels is incredibly and extremely pleasing. I really enjoy this instrument, it sounds better and better every time I play it.
	Harriet Yelin Wife of Bob Yelin (owner of several Buscarino Archtop models) at makes a happy wife? A happy husband! And you certainly have made my husband happy!! His new Buscarino is absolutely beautiful, the workmanship impeccable and the sound incredible. Thank you for adding joy to our lives.
	Jeff Griesemer Buscarino Cabaret owner Cabaret is still my “numero uno” ax. After all this time using it I still get knocked out by the tone – I love playing it. People often compliment its tone and looks at gigs.
	Denny Giovanetti Buscarino Monarch owner Haven’t done a lot since the Blue Monarch arrived, besides playing. I’m really impressed by the neck, considering that we only discussed it over the phone, you really nailed it, it feels great. And the overall tone is amazingly lush and articulate at the same time. This is simply the best guitar I’ve ever played! And I want to thank you for everything along the way. You’ve been helpful and friendly through this process and I’ve especially appreciated your kindness and your generosity.
	Tony Darienzo Buscarino Monarch owner The guitar is faultless in tone and craftsmanship. Your painstaking attention to detail is evident anywhere you look. It was indeed a pleasure dealing with you in this matter. As an artisan, I hope you take pleasure in knowing that each time I play my new guitar I will appreciate its fine quality.
	David Cray Buscarino Monarch owner This letter is to thank you for building me the finest guitar that I have ever owned. Your attention to detail is perfect and I am certain that your craft and skill will continue to be appreciated by quality seekers for many years to come.
	Stu Langrehr Buscarino Cabaret owner Realizing that beauty and sound are judged by the eye and ear of the beholder, the Cabaret with the quilted back and sides is a delight to hear and see. It provides the sound and playability that I had been searching for. Thanks for providing such a quality instrument.
	Ken Hatfield Buscarino Cabaret owner Thanks for doing such a marvelous job on my guitar. I always have high expectations where your instruments are concerned and as usual you have exceeded them. I look forward to a long and truthful association between my music and your guitars.
	Rick Ross Buscarino 16” Electric Archtop owner I can’t thank you enough for this instrument. It fulfills every desire I have ever sought after in a working guitar. Plays incredible, Sounds Great and is built to withstand the rigors of gigging.
	Mike Cea Buscarino Archtop owner This is the finest instrument that I have ever played. It is truly is a work of Art, absolutely, second to none. Every time I pick it up and play it, it sounds better and better.
	Steve Knight Buscarino Monarch Owner I recently purchased a blonde 1996 Monarch from Ebay.com. It is absolutely beautiful! The wood is highly flamed, and the finish is breathtaking. The guitar could be collected for its appearance alone! Your guitars truly are a work of art. The tone is the perfect jazz sound—I would not change a thing. Acoustically, the guitar really projects well. It’s the loudest acoustic guitar I’ve heard. The guitar is very easy to play. The action is low, and the intonation is immaculate. The guitar sounds/plays like no other I’ve played before. I can’t believe I now own a guitar of this caliber!
	Scott Murley Buscarino Monarch customer I have to say that I can’t wait until my guitar is finished, but it sure has been a pleasure doing business with you. From the first time I walked into your shop and you took time from your schedule to show me around, right up until your last e-mail, it’s been a pleasure. Your beautiful guitars are easy to appreciate just by picking them up and playing but without placing an order your equally impressive business sense goes unnoticed. I’m glad to be a part of it.
	Diane Hubka Buscarino Artisan owner Thank you so much for the beautiful guitar!! I absolutely love it. It’s so beautiful, is so comfortable to play and sounds so wonderful. It’s everything I ever wanted in an instrument!!
