Guitare Partie

Hey all...Bob Holo stopped by yesterday with his latest creations. He's building some of the best new Gypsy guitars anywhere!

We decided to pull all the guitars out, play them, and take a few photos of some Busatos, Favinos, and Bob's guitars. Check it out:

which are which?

First two photos are Busatos....


The last photo has Bob's guitars (the ones with visible labels and the one with F holes). There are also 4 Busatos and Favino in the pic....

So in the final photo from L to R:

Holo, Holo, Busato, Holo, Busato, Favino, Holo, Busato

(say that fast 3 times )

And in the center is another Busato.

Just goes to show, if you're name ends in a vowel you'll be able to make some great guitars!

D'Angelico, D'Aquisto, Benedetto, Buscarino, Monteleone....Hmm, you may have a point.

There are exceptions. Stromberg, Selmer, Gibson, Martin, Fender...

One of my favorites....very loud but not harsh or wet sounding. Ridiculously light weight....not even sure it was over 3lbs!

Those Busato decorated headstocks look sooooo Sicilian!

Yes indeed! He is making some of the finest new GJ guitars around! Bob, being my neighbor, I've had the good fortune to stop by and try his guitars during the past year and they are getting better and better. If you're looking for a new GJ guitar, I highly recommend Bob Holo's guitars plus he is a great person to deal with. Cheers, Phil

Some of Bob's guitars are exact Busato copies. Others combine some Selmer and or/other influences.
