Bob’s Demo Guitar

Serial #44099

We are proud to offer eight of Bob Benedetto’s personal instruments on consignment in Bob’s Boutique (the Benedetto Guitars webstore). There are four prototypes from Bob’s early 2000s licensing collaboration with Fender Musical Instruments, two unique instruments from the Benedetto Guitars Inc. workshop between 2006 and present, and two stunning examples from his home workshop dating as far back as 1980. Each is a treasure, has a great story, and was refreshed and inspected in our workshop allowing us to offer a 2-year limited warranty. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of jazz guitar history!  

1999 17” “Demo” Serial #44099 Natural in the style of a La Venezia with shellac finish and headstock logo hand-written in pencil. Made by Bob as an archtop example he could use to test bridges, nuts, strings etc. and serve as a pure example of a Benedetto.

This guitar plays great, but has a slight rise in tongue. The purchaser will have the option to have the issue addressed or keep the guitar in its current condition.
