It’s not every day we catch Damon with a Cremona on his bench. The Cremona model is the finest iteration of our 17″ Flagship models and they are as rare as hen’s teeth. We can hardly wait to share the finished product with you!

We can’t believe how stunning this custom 16-B turned out! With premium woods, binding, and custom inlay, it just doesn’t get any better than this. This one was built to order, but we can certainly repeat with something similar should another customer have a like-minded vision.

Finally, a Bravo Deluxe is available for immediate purchase from Bob’s Boutique! This stunner features 16″x 2.5″ body dimensions with a standard 1.75″ nut width and 25″ scale, and a non-standard Blonde finish.

In the broader guitar world, “blonde” is a general description, but at Benedetto it has a very specific meaning: Our Natural finish is clear lacquer only, while Honeyblonde requires some shading intended to imply the yellow-ish patina taken on by clear lacquer over time. Blonde, however sits somewhere in the middle, offering something less stark than Natural, but more subtle than Honeyblonde.

Purchase directly for the Bob’s Boutique store on our website or contact info@benedettoguitars.com with inquiries.

Don’t wait until the last minute to get your tickets for the Richie Summa group at the Velvet Note in Alpharetta (just North of Atlanta) on July 30th, only a week from today! This venerable venue features fine fare, delicious drinks, and almost always sells out on the weekends.

Another Pat Martino Signature model has left the building! It’s hard to argue against the classic and classy all Black finish.

Head on over to jazzdagama.com for a rave review of Randy Napoleon’s record, “Puppets, the music of Gregg Hill.”

We’re getting ever closer to the 100 year anniversary of the modern archtop guitar in 2023, and getting ready this week by applying color to the special Americana model guitars we have in the works. Master Finisher, Larry Perkins has applied a wash-in burst to these three instruments (not a typical method here at Benedetto Guitars) and the result is simply stunning! Anyone interested in owning one of these unique guitars should contact us. info@benedettoguitars.com. Don’t forget there are only 3 of them!!!

It’s Taylor Powell’s last day and we’re wishing him all the best after half a decade in the White Wood Department! Taylor came to us from his home state of Michigan in 2017 with a Journeyman Program Certification from Galloup School of Guitar Building and Repair. We are certain that his meticulous nature and great ability to focus on detail will serve him in whatever endeavor comes next… Thank you for a great five years of necks, frets, and fingerboards, Taylor!
