Our fearless leader has completed another year and everybody here hopes it will be the best one yet!

Happy birthday, Howard!

We’re excited to be shipping out this gorgeous, Light Antiqueburst Bravo Deluxe this afternoon. The next one we have available is in Autumnburst. Contact us at info@benedettoguitars.com if you are interested in snagging that one before it is completed in a few weeks.

What a wonderful treat to have a visit from legendary guitarist, educator, and Benedetto Player, Jack Petersen! Jack is back in the neighborhood, so he brought his extensively played, 1992 Fratello in for a little refresh and a photo op.

It’s Halloween, the official start to the holiday season… While it may be a tad early, the spookiest thing we can think of is Christmas without a Benedetto under the tree! We have a handful of guitars ready to go in Bob’s Boutique, with just a few more that will be ready in time. So, if you or somebody you love would like a Benedetto by Christmas (and who wouldn’t?), we recommend clicking over to the Boutique or shooting us a message about upcoming guitars: info@benedettoguitars.com

This gorgeous 16-B shipped out this week and we couldn’t be prouder. Adorned in the 45th Anniversary version of our Autumnburst finish, the custom options on this one are almost exactly like those of BG President and CEO, Howard Paul’s personal guitar.

We simply must share these incredibly kind words from Rodney Jones regarding his new 16-B:

“The Benedetto 16-B is a work of art, and a “working”  work of art.  It plays and sounds so beautifully,  it gives wings to the heart song inside and lets the music flow on silken tones out into the world.

“It is a truly magnificent instrument.  I could not love it more or even suggest any way to make it better.

“Any player who is looking for the finest jazz guitar that is out there, would be hard pressed to find anything in the league of the Benedetto 16-B.

“I will be using it, and breaking it in, and loving it every step.

“I don’t know what is in the water down there in Georgia, but, whatever you all are doing and drinking, keep doing it.”
