BEAUTIFUL IN BLONDE
This gorgeous Bravo Deluxe in Blonde shipped out this week. We’ll miss it and all, but I suppose we could always build another one like it… let us know if you would like to be the one we build it for!
WELL, LOOK WHO IT IS…
We had a very special visitor at the shop yesterday: the one and only Bob Benedetto! It would appear that he and Damon are scheming, but the matter of greater urgency is that Bob delivered signed copies of “Making an Archtop Guitar” which are now available in the merch section of Bob’s Boutique.
READY TO SHIP!
Refreshing as ever, this Limoncello Bravo Deluxe model is available and ready to ship straight from Bob’s Boutique to your home, studio, or stage.
The Bravo Deluxe model is hands-down the most gig-able guitar in our model lineup. A laminated spruce top and highly figured, laminated maple back make this guitar resistant to feedback, durable, and stable, perfect for any live performance application. With all ebony appointments, all the resonance required to feel alive in your hands, and the Benedetto pedigree, this guitar is equally comfortable in the studio or practice space where it will inspire your best performances.
SNEAKY GUITAR
This Bambino Elite just slipped into the finish department… You didn’t hear it here, but it’s unspoken for and destined for Bob’s Boutique. Who wants it?
STRAPS ARE BACK
Our fine Italian leather straps are back in stock in a variety of colors and available to purchase from the merch section on the Bob’s Boutique page. Nothing needs to be done if you’ve already spoken to us about including one with your guitar; we have them set aside!
JEN 2023
We didn’t make it to the Jazz Education Network conference this year but really enjoyed seeing pics and video from all the Benedetto players in attendance. Here is a particularly great shot of Shawn Purcell on stage with singer Darden Purcell.
VETERANS OF JAZZ GUITAR
Should you find yourself in the Southeast this weekend, be sure to book a table at the Jazz Corner in Hilton Head, SC for the Veterans of Jazz Guitar show featuring BG Pres/CEO, Howard Paul and Benedetto Artist, Wayne Wilkins. They will be joined by Shawn Purcell for a Sunday show on Kiawah Island but that is already sold out (sorry)!
STUDENT SPOTLIGHT
University of North Texas student, Alex Hand giving his Andy model a workout… Pro playing and pro tone proves that this little-guitar-that-could is definitely no toy.
“THE GIST OF YOU” ON NEW YEAR’S EVE
A great clip of from Chris Standring’s New Year’s gig featuring his tune, “The Gist of You” which can be found on his 2022 release, “The Simple Things.”
YOU MUST BELIEVE IN AUTUMN
All the recent winter weather makes us glad we have glowing guitars to keep us warm! This custom Bravo Deluxe in Autumnburst is heading up North where it can warm its new owner for years to come.
