FULL MOON OVER BG

Taken May 27, 2010/9:30 pm

HE'S GOT RHYTHM

An exquisite example of a Custom guitar!

"The Doyles", Serial #48906GP, custom made for BG's own "Loyal Doyle" Bill Doyle (Creator of our "Benedetto: Body & Soul" DVD, our Savannah shop DVD and the owner of 'Anima e Corpo'.)  It's a 17" non-cutaway with European woods and a Spirit Varnish finish with his beautiful family wood transferred to the headstock.

He's the Rhythm Guitarist for the "Dan Gable and the Abletones Band" as well as their Manager (hence the fab tuxedo and initials on the cuffs - how classy is all that)

Website on the band to be revealed in June...

Bill, You (and your guitar of course!) are Too Marvelous for Words  :-)

  AQUA-RIUS

Showcasing our gorgeous Aqua Marineburst Bambino Elite from Bob's Boutique...don't forget, through June 1st, we are offering free freight and no handling fees*...so that keeps a little green in your pocket when you purchase our 'blues' guitar  :-)

* remember, free freight/no handling only through next Tuesday, 6-1-10!

FLASHBACK FRIDAY - KENNY BURRELL

   Hard to believe it's been a decade since our Benedetto Players & Guild JazzMasters concert at the NAMM Show January 2000, in LA, co-sponsored by Fender Musical Instruments and NAMM.

Kenny performed with his "Kenny Burrell Signature" Benedetto - in his favorite shade of blue of course  :-)

MADE BY MUSICIANS

Every single luthier at Benedetto Guitars plays guitar.

Each guitar we made is truly made by musicians for musicians!

 MASKED MAN

AHHH, CHRISTMAS IN MAY

  After 42 years, it's still like Christmas for Bob when a shipment of wood arrives.

Today he unpacked a large shipment of European spruce & European curly maple for Flagship model tops and backs...

Just doesn't get any better he 'wood' say  :-)
