This guitar once belonged to Andrea Braido the greatest italian guitarist, studio player for Vasco Rossi, Zucchero, Mina, Eros Ramazzotti, Laura Pausini and many more. I had the opportunity to buy this particular guitar from one of Andrea's closest friend a studio musician and excellent audio technician and producer. She is a Bruno Traverso Joy, a masterpiece in strat shape (best woods, best craftmanship) which sports a little inlay at the 12th fret with the Braidus name sculped in mother of pearl. The colour is a wonderful acid green painted over a dramatic flamed maple top which is unbelievable if seen in person. An instant heartbreaker! The body is a very heavy mahogany, the neck byrdseyes maple and the fingerboard is in brasilian rosewood. The hardware is in gold from Schaller. The pick ups are two Kinman single coil and a Seymour Duncan Jeff Beck humbucker at the bridge (Andrea did erase the brand names for contractual reasons). She is another extremely cool guitar which has some tears because it has been the main Andrea's axe for a couple of world tours with Eros Ramazzotti and Laura Pausini. Now retired, she lives in my collection with her sisters, my other 4 Bruno Traverso guitars. Obviously, impossible to sell. Where could I find another one? Andrea is the guy in the picture, playing my actual guitar at a clinic.
