40th Anniversary Bambino

Serial #S1661

We are proud to offer eight of Bob Benedetto’s personal instruments on consignment in Bob’s Boutique (the Benedetto Guitars webstore). There are four prototypes from Bob’s early 2000s licensing collaboration with Fender Musical Instruments, two unique instruments from the Benedetto Guitars Inc. workshop between 2006 and present, and two stunning examples from his home workshop dating as far back as 1980. Each is a treasure, has a great story, and was refreshed and inspected in our workshop allowing us to offer a 2-year limited warranty. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of jazz guitar history!  

2008 Bambino 40th Anniversary Model Serial #S1661 White with gold hardware and Georgia peach inlay.  We made forty 40th Anniversary inlay motif pieces to celebrate Bob’s 40th year of guitar making in conjunction with the opening of the Savannah shop.  Twentyfive of them were white Bambinos, and the remaining 15 were inlaid in various models. Bob kept this one for his own collection.
