Marchione 59 Burst Semi Hollow 2022 Cherry Burst w/ Premium fitted Calton HSC, NEW (Authorized Dealer)
This 59 Burst is one of those instruments that is indescribable by mere words. It needs to be experienced to be fully believed and understood. As soon as you do, it just clicks. Every nuance of your playing is felt. The ergonomic body shape makes for a guitar that feels like its an extension of your body. Notes sustain in a long breath-like matter, that we've never experienced from another electric guitar (acoustically & amplified). This instrument is as alive as they come.
So much of the magic of a Marchione, can be found in its construction. Each piece of Michigan Silver Maple (the very same species of Maple used on vintage 59 Les Pauls) is hand picked and tap tuned, as well as hand carved to the appropriate thickness by one master luthier. The neck angle plays a big role in the feel of these instruments as well; providing a low, supple action that not many builders can achieve without excessive buzzing. Not at all the case with this guitar. The fretwork is perfection and each note rings out clear and true. This is one of the pieces of Stephen's work that is so difficult to describe, without trying one for yourself. If a perfect setup with the lowest action possible and no buzzing is your thing (who's isn't it?!) Then this may very well be the perfect guitar for you.
This 59 Burst features a beautiful sounding set of Tone Specific Pickup's PAF Virtuoso Humbuckers. This set working alongside the semi hollow construction, gives this guitar a rich voice that truly make it a master of all trades. They are outrageously clear and dynamic with great warmth and presence. With the dual volume and tone controls, you can pull off anything from Jazz, Blues, Rock, Fusion, Western Swing and everything in between. It's voice will never pigeonhole you in anyway, rather allow you to explore new possibilities you had never thought of before.
From Stephen Marchione:
"My new semi-hollow body was created with professionalism above all else in mind.
The idea to construct such an instrument was born one evening when I encountered Mike Moreno, a renowned New York based jazz musician, at a private concert. I watched on as he played with his standard semi-hollow body guitar. Clearly impressed with his virtuosic jazz chops, I nonetheless felt that Moreno was robbed of sound quality by his very own instrument."
"After the show I talked with Moreno and proposed building a semi-hollow body electric guitar with my carefully developed 15″ Mark Whitfield Archtop guitar as the base design. Moreno agreed and months later he and I were both thrilled with the pictured result. The tone and sustain dealt out by this guitar is truly astonishing… The body of the Standard Semi-hollow guitar is made of gorgeous Italian Alpine Spruce top and an African Mahogany back. Divine. The Premium models are available in a wide variety of woods. These guitars are available with a “modern”, symmetrical f-hole design as pictured but I also make them with the “classic” f-hole design as well. As with all of my guitars, I never use plywood and always use individual cuts of quality tonewood. This is certainly the choice should you want to move from a generic, playable compromise to a professional instrument."
