<p>We are genuinely proud of each guitar made right here in Savannah. (<em>like you couldn&#8217;t tell&#8230;</em>)</p>
<p>This one, just finished yesterday, is a <a  href="http://benedettoguitars.com/guitars/professional-series/bravo-deluxe%E2%84%A2/"><strong>BRAVO DELUXE</strong> </a>(in yummy honey blonde) custom made for Stuart MacKinnon. (Serial #S2056)</p>
<p>The headstock features a beautiful commemorative inlay by Bob for Stuart but in this photo you can&#8217;t see it as we were laughing (as usual) and I forgot to watch for glare(!)</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll be taking some Glam photos this week and I&#8217;ll post them soon&#8230;that&#8217;s what makes <em>moi</em> happy  <img src='http://benedettoguitars.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
