Bambino Deluxe Tri Burst

Serial #S1182

Benedetto is making available eight vintage guitars consigned by the family of a dear friend who was a prolific collector of guitars (mostly non-archtops).  From 2007 to 2010 he acquired seven custom Benedettos and one with all standard appointments. These guitars are all in excellent condition with very little ware, no obvious blemishes, dings or scratches.  These would be considered “closet classics.”  Our Master Luthier has inspected, cleaned, setup, and tested each instrument.  We will include a two-year warranty against defects with each purchase. Customer is responsible for shipping. 

Bambino Deluxe Tri Burst:  This is a one-of-a-kind Bambino Deluxe with standard dimensions (14-1/2” x 2-1/4” body, 25” scale and 1-11/16” nut).  Back, sides and neck are finished in Black, highly flamed book-matched laminated maple top is a unique tri-burst of gold-red-black;  two gold A6 pickups; solid wood block the same footprint of the bridge connects the top to the back for strength and feedback suppression; gold hardware; ebony bridge, tailpiece, finger rest, fingerboard and tuner buttons. Includes original TKL hardshell case.

LUTHIER’S NOTES: Excellent condition with one indentation in the finish on the back.  We leveled the frets and set it up to factory specs with 11s. This one has the old-spec truss rod that works sufficiently.
