    What a beauty! Love the straight grained rosewood, the fiddleback walnut neck and the very authentic looking hardware. I wonder where he is getting the tuners and tailpiece?

    I played a Busato copy by Killy at RF Charles' shop in Paris last month. Great sound, very authentic.

    Yes, it did, and it was. Wish I had the money, but it's probably a good thing that I didn't.

    A little bird told me it had some fret issues in Samois, had they been solved?

    Not at the time I saw it. The ends of the frets were sticking out from the fretboard. Francois was aware of that and he was planning to take care of it. I'm sure he would have done so before sending it out. Made it hard to play comfortably, but didn't change the sound.

    Just checked....frets feel fine. Changes in humidity can sometimes shrink the neck a bit causing the frets to protrude slightly. Maybe this guitar experienced that at Samois. Feels fine now so either it was rehumidifed or the fret ends were filed down.

    Michael, I was actually talking about the one in Francois' shop, the Busato copy, not the one you have there.
