FS: Possible Sonora Busato shop guitar 800EU
guitarplayer
New
Bought this guitar here in Paris from a classified about a year ago.
It is perhaps a "Sonora Busato" and has many details similar to the "moyen" model. The headstock and lozenge style tuners seem to match that era of guitars.

The guy I bought it off said it was rebuilt by luthier thewill in Paris, Re-braced to the Selmer pattern, polished and tailpiece replaced with a Busato.
I believe the previous owner replaced the fretboard as I have another one somewhere.
It has the classic old french guitar sound and is in very playable condition which can be hard to come by with these guitars.
A couple of scratches here and there, a small crack on the cutaway (nothing grave) and rubbing on the back. It is possibly an 80 year old guitar after all.
Selling as I bought something more modern and I don't have the space for two.
Looking for around 800 EU, Located in paris but open to discussions about price and shipping.

Ooooh!! Interesting! I have no money, so no new guitars for me :( . Looks great though!
I seem to remember someone posting about this guitar a year or so ago, maybe the previous owner you bought it from?
It certainly looks Busatoish although Horace Bucolo made some similar. The hardware is standard fare for these guitars, Delaruelle tuners and common 'diamond' tailpiece. Might be worth contacting Will Hannier aka TheWill the luthier who is based in Heuland in the Calvados region who presumably wrote that Busato and 1960 note on the label. Normal phone numbers in France are ten digits so put a 0 in front of the nine digits showing and that might work. He is also active as TheWill on LeBonCoin.
