Fratello Prototype

Serial #N10500

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!  

2000 Prototype Fratello Serial #N10500 in Antiqueburst was intended as a reference for the Guild and Fender Custom shops and was built on Bob’s East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania bench. It is a stunning example of a classic Benedetto design and one of Bob’s most iconic models.
