We have done a number of custom Bambino Deluxe model guitars with the faux Elite aesthetic, but this just might be the first Bravo Deluxe to receive the treatment. The trick is to use over sprayed, maple binding, and an ebony faceplate with inlaid Benedetto logo. Simply stunning!

A note from Benedetto President and CEO, Howard Paul:

“Our Benedetto elves are working diligently post-Thanksgiving/pre-Christmas. A newly placed order takes about ten-to-twelve months, which means our luthiers are always working on instruments in different stages. The goal is to make sure guitars are on schedule before the long holiday break arrives. I’m so proud of this talented crew run by master luthier Damon Mailand! Ask any of our artists or customers about the finished instruments! Or listen to one of their records or videos!”

This guitar came dangerously close to being posted in Bob’s Boutique, but it was spared that fate by a guitarist with excellent taste in classic finishes. Light Antiqueburst has become one of our most popular non-standard finishes and we certainly can see why!

Randy Napoleon says all the cats love his Bravo Deluxe!

A customer recently ordered a Natural Bambino Deluxe with a bookmatched veneer on the top and the result was so incredible we figured we must do another one with a burst for something extraordinary.

This one-of-a-kind Bambino Deluxe features upgraded, laminated back and sides with a matching neck, and an all-over burst in addition to the special top. Combine standard appointments such as comfortable 14 1/2″ x 2 1/4″ body dimensions, 25″ scale and 1 11/16″ nut width, with these outstanding aesthetics and you are left with a stunning piece of art, worthy of the world’s best stages.

This is the second Bambino Deluxe to hit Bob’s Boutique this week… the other one only lasted a few days so we recommend acting quickly if this stunning guitar strikes a chord with you. Check it out in Bob’s Boutique or contact us at info@benedettoguitars.com with questions.

We just love this photo of blues guitar phenom, Solomon Hicks by Richard Reid… So much emotion is a single shot!

This stunning Bambino Deluxe in Honeyblonde/Espresso is ready to ship in all its compact glory. With all standard appointments and including a hardshell case, this is the perfect holiday gift for the gigging guitarist or discerning enthusiast in your life.

It features a 25″ scale, 1 11/16″ nut width, laminated maple construction, and a single built-in Benedetto A-6 humbucking pickup. The 14 1/2″ x 2 1/4″ body dimensions are perfect for easy travel or guitarists of diminutive stature, and make this guitar as comfortable to play as any instrument could be.

Happy birthday to our beloved CEO and President, Howard Paul! We’re not sure anyone loves that jazz guitar life more than him, so here’s to many more years filled with gigs, concerts, jams, and hangs!

Here’s a big Benedetto thanks to the Savannah Country Day School STEM department for inviting us to their stunning new facility and then popping by for a tour. Besides learning about the design, engineering, and construction processes for a Benedetto guitar, they also ran into the Andy model named for SCDS alumni, Andy Paul.
