BEAUTY IN THE BOUTIQUE

Posted on August 15, 2017 by Benedetto Guitars

This antiqueburst 16B model, now available for immediate shipment, brings back a little nostalgia with the body lines of Bob’s custom-made 16″ guitars from the 1990s. It borrows its binding package, headstock shape, tuners and EPS tailpiece from the Bravo Deluxe, and the A-6 built-in gold pickup from the Bravo model. The inlaid “Benedetto” logo is abalone. It is the most gig-friendly carved guitar in our line, remarkably responsive and feedback resistant. It can be yours!!!

Price: $10,000 (includes deluxe hardshell case)

“Joe Negri’s Jazz Guitar Is His Legacy”

Posted on August 7, 2017 by Benedetto Guitars

Let’s get one thing straight: Joe Negri is no handyman.

“Fred said, ‘Joe, how would you like to be Handyman Negri?’”

“I said, ‘You gotta be kidding. I can’t hammer a nail straight!’”

“He said, ‘That’s OK. It’s all pretend.’”

For 35 years, Mr. Negri appeared on “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood” as Handyman Negri. Just as Fred Rogers had said, his lack of repair skills never hampered him in the Neighborhood of Make-Believe. But his jazzy guitar licks certainly came in handy when he played with guests Wynton Marsalis, Mabel Mercer, Tony Bennett and Yo-Yo Ma and with the rest of the TV show’s quartet — musical director Johnny Costa on piano, Carl McVicker Jr. on bass and Bobby Rawsthorne on drums.

Read the full article about the fabulous life of Benedetto Artist Joe Negri from the Pittsburgh Gazette.
