LEANDRO PLAYS THE BLUES
BG Artist, Leandro Pellegrino had a chance to spend some time with Ty Danco of the Archtop Foundation (theblueguitars.com) and La Cremona Azzurra… we love to see those smiles!
CUSTOM PLUS
We have a feeling this schnazzy, custom Bambino Deluxe is going to resonate with a lot of folks… It’s shipping out this week and features a whole slew of custom options: upgraded woods, flame maple binding, ebony faceplate, inlaid logo, two-tone, split diamond fretboard motif, and a one-off burst borrowed from the 45th Anniversary Cremona.
MARK YOUR CALEDARS
If you happen to be in the Toronto are on July 23 be sure to check out the Beaches Jazz Festival. BG Player, James Anthony takes the stage at 3:00. Be there or be square!
GREETINGS FROM NORTH YORKSHIRE
Thanks to Mike Barnham of North Yorkshire, UK for this great photo with his 16-B! He promised us a photo in 2016 upon delivery, but has been so busy admiring the guitar he has only gotten around to it just now.
AFTERNOON ESPRESSO
This lovely custom ordered Espresso Bambino came through this morning and it was just the kick we needed to get through the afternoon!
SPLIT SECOND DECISION
Sometimes we like to have a little fun and spice up the guitars destined for Bob’s Boutique with nonstandard appointments. This lovely neck with split-block, Fratello style inlay is destined to meet a 16-B body and will be finished in a classic Antiqueburst. We expect it will be ready sometime this fall and would love to reserve it just for you! Contact info@benedettoguitars.com for details.
BLACKWING & BENEDETTO
We’re friendly with the fine folks at Blackwing Pencils, as we should be… they do make the Benedetto of pencils afterall! One of the executives there commissioned this wildly unique Benedetto to show off their brand in an exciting and collaborative way. Normally, the gorgeous ambrosia maple back and sides would steal the show on a guitar like this, but we think the crown jewel is the detailed illustration on the headstock which was designed and applied by Bob Benedetto.
WORTH THE WAIT
Please give a very warm Benedetto welcome to Rodrigo Gomes, the newest member of our world-class team of luthiers! Rodrigo come from Brazil with his family, a years long process, and will assist in many aspects of the build process. Welcome, Rodrigo!
JUST A REMINDER
