Our friend and customer, Dr. Urban Schnell had a fantastic view of Biréli Lagrène and his Benedetto 16-B at a recent performance in Zurich. If only this picture had a soundtrack!
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
This gorgeous Pat Martino Signature model was just completed and will ship soon. It’s hard to argue with the sunny, fall warmth of Autumnburst!

CLASSIC BLACK
James Bond, limousines, and penguins can’t all be wrong… We’re not sure there is anything classier than Bravo all tux-ed up in a Black finish.
TAMO ASH
A year or so ago when a customer asked us for something entirely unique and aesthetically extraordinary, we knew exactly what to do… we just happened to have the perfect thing hiding out in a corner of the shop! The Tamo ash veneer on the top of this Bravo Deluxe is as unique and extraordinary as they come and the perfect Light Antiqueburst finish on top of it is the icing on the cake.
HOT OFF THE PRESSES
This stunner of an Antiqueburst Bravo was just completed and is available for immediate purchase. Head over to Bob’s Boutique to click and buy, or you can call (912-692-1400) or email (info@benedettoguitars.com) with any questions.
Built with a laminated spruce top, solid maple sides, and laminated maple back, the Bravo model brings all the durability and stage worthy performance a gigging musician could ever hope for. With all ebony appointments, finished in genuine nitrocellulose lacquer, and crafted with that special Benedetto TLC, this guitar will hold up to the most discerning guitarist’s scrutiny.
SPEAKING OF CREMONA
We have one more Cremona on order making its way through the shop… What’s harder than nailing the incredibly tight binding miters of a Cremona headstock? Nailing them with splintery exotic wood. Senior Craftsman, Steve Holzknecht documented his tedious task and the result is too good not to share.
TWO FOR TWO
Two Cremona model guitars in ten days! It’s almost unheard of but we sure are proud to have made it happen. If you scroll back and take a look at the other one (posted January 15), it makes a good case for demonstrating just how unique and special each of these Flagship guitars can be.
STUNNED, BUT NOT INTO SILENCE
We couldn’t blame you for mistaking this guitar for a Bravo Elite, but it’s actually a Bravo Deluxe that has been given our faux-Elite treatment. In addition to a first-of-its-kind, non-standard Walnutburst finish, we overspray maple binding, and bundle a few other custom details to get this staggering look… What a stunner!
