BOB & RICK DO MANHATTAN

Rick Cervone (left) is the voice you often hear when you call BG - he was formerly in our Final Assembly Dept. but when we found out he was good with bookkeeping, I 'stole' him to help me out in the Front Office  :-)

Bob & Rick pose with Bob Yelin's Custom Manhattan, shown earlier.

IT'S OUR CUSTOM

   Guitarist Bob Yelin received his beautiful new Custom Manhattan this morning so we can show more photos of this exquisite instrument...

CHAMBER MUSIC

Our gorgeous, chambered body Curly Koa Benny has sold to UD Music, Taiwan. 

(it's Hawaiian Koa so we bid it Aloha!)  :-)

WELCOME 'BACK'   :-)

   A sneak peek at a unique custom instrument just finished...

PROFESSIONAL SERIES PROFS!

 Duquesne University Jazz guitar professors (and BG ARTISTS!) RJ Zimmerman (Bambino) & Mark Koch (Bravo) pose with Summer Guitar Workshop Instructor Mark Shuttleworth (Bambino). The trio performed for Duquesne students recently.

YESTERGEAR

Our new "L'Omaggio" (The Homage) guitar is now on Bob's Boutique.

If you love the big archtops of yesteryear, this guitar is for you  :-)

JAZZ GIANTS

Some historic photos of two long-time Benedetto Players, and dear friends, Howard Alden (left, on 7-String with Les Paul at the Iridium) and Jack Wilkins, right, on Fratello, in New York City. (Jack is featured in the current JazzTimes).

FALL FOR PHILLY - Today/tomorrow!

   FALL PHILLY GUITAR SHOW REMINDER!

BG will be in Philly this weekend! Howard is taking select guitars from BOB'S BOUTIQUE on a Road Trip to the Fall Great American Guitar Show this Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 7-8.

Located at the Valley Forge Convention Center outside of Philadelphia, the show is open to the public.

Featured Benedetto guitars will include both Professional Series, Flagship one-offs and one-of-a-kind instruments.  Special pricing.  Credit card sales! 

STRING FEVER

These are the same strings we use on each guitar that we make in our shop in Savannah.

Benedetto Jazz Guitar Strings are handmade in the USA (just like our guitars)  :-)

And you know we wouldn't string you along if it weren't so  (I know, I know...)

GOLDEN RULES

 "The Royal Andy" is packed and on its way to the Fall Philly Guitar Show this weekend...our gold, Satin finished ANDY is a one-off, well, as good as gold  ;-)   Retail: $2975.00   A Golden Opportunity to own a unique guitar!

#S1757

TRUE BLUE

One of only two Denim Blue Bravos (and a 40th Anniversary model to boot...) that we've made in Savannah...

 IT'S TWO OR NO ONE

DHR Music Experience always has an eye for our more unique pieces...they now have available one of our singular Sinfoniettas, this one with Myrtle Burl for the back and sides (a Bob's Boutique guitar).... and a 7-string version of our popular Bambino Deluxe..in our classic honey blonde.

VERY CHERRY!   :-)

This Bob's Boutique guitar -- a version of our extremely popular BRAVO model -- is intended to be just a little more "country and blues" friendly with a double pickup arrangement and a small block under the bridge connecting the top to the back for feedback resistance.  It is still a hollow body in all other aspects though. 

We have given this beautiful example rosy cheeks by providing a Very Cherry finish.  :-)

MSRP $5750.  $4600 with case. If you are "Red"dy to buy, don't delay - this will be "Red Hot" (couldn't resist) at the Fall Philly Show this weekend! 

Serial #S1830

I'VE GOT A CRUSH ON YOU

Wine enthusiasts spent Sunday afternoon, Oct. 25th, in beautiful Oakville, California, strolling through Miner Wine's caves, sampling an array of delicious food and wine pairings, and talking crush with their winemakers...all "paired" with music by Mike Oria and Howard Paul.  :-)

CAPTAIN DAVE & ANDY: Episode 11

It's the first of the month - CD&A Time! Our ever-clever Captain Dave (& ANDY, natch!) visited our former home/shop in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania (1990-2000) for this month's shoot!

 DESIGN STAR   :-)

Bob gives an educational tour to the Furniture Design Class of SCAD October 28th.

With campuses in Savannah, Atlanta, LaCoste (France) and, in 2010, Hong Kong, SCAD is the largest art university in the US...and growing!

Special thanks to Professor Sheila Edwards (to right of Bob).
