Now in Stock: Busato Grand Model, approx. 1940
Custom options:
Approx. 1940 Busato. Busato are one of the oldest lines of Selmer inspired guitars, and after Selmer the most sought after guitar by todays players. Players associated with playing Busato guitars include Django Reinhardt, Mondine and Ninine Garcia, Dorado Schmitt, jean-Phillipe Watremez, Romane, Fanto and Yayo Reinhardt. There is no date on the label or inside the guitar dating a Busato, so dating can only be done approximately and judged by style. Busato had a "Petit model" and "Grand model" which, meaning 'simple' and 'deluxe'. This is obviously a Grand model, and I must say beautiful in every aspect. Features include a solid spruce top, and Quilt Maple back and sides, Multiple bound top, 3 piece Walnut neck with one piece of ebony in the centre, indicatin it's older.
This is not just another guitar but an outstanding example of the Busato "Grand Modèle", it has the immense tone Busato guitars are famous for. Fact is that at the time, Busato was often chosen by players above the more expensive Selmer. They are truly very special guitars, and each and every one looks different. This one has what you may consider 'the right mojo' - a smoel - or if you want the most inspiring looks- caused by the beautiful patina of the finish and the beautiful decorated pickguard. This guitar has battled alright but is in excellent condition, even more important, the top is Crack-free and the guitar comes with a straight neck, thick original ebony slab-fingerboard, original Brass frets, original tailpiece, and all original Shellac finish that is quite worn but still original. The curve of the top and back or 'bombé' is still strong, some curving of the sides and unevenness in the back probably from high humidity but it doesn't hurt the guitar in any way, original paper label in the guitar. The tuners- how original they may look- are replaced by perfect replica tuners.
The playability is excellent, it has the right action, and an overwhelming sound, the right bark, and the right smell and feel. This guitar was bought 'second hand' by the granddad of the former owner around 1941-42. It comes in a good quality new case.

The Fellowship Of Acoustics, Netherlands 
ABOUT US
I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
