Buck was recently reunited with the gorgeous 1990 Stefan Sobell Butterfly that was used to record Arborea's first two albums: 'Wayfaring Summer'(2006) and Arborea S/T (2008). Buck parted ways with the this guitar in 2006 but always hoped to have it back one day. This guitar was also used on one of his favorite albums - Martin Simpson's album 'When I Was On Horseback'. Here are two photos...one taken by James David Logan in April 2024 in Bergamo, Italy and the other taken by Shanti in 2006 in Sumner, Maine.
