ANDY AMONG US… IN NATURAL/ESPRESSO FINISH
We were on an Antiqueburst streak over in Bob’s Boutique until this little rascal popped up… It’s hard to argue with the Natural beauty of a spruce top contrasted against our rich Espresso finish on the back, neck, and sides.
Every Andy model travels well but this one is especially ready to hit the road right to your doorstep from Bob’s Boutique! Click here to buy online, email info@benedettoguitars.com, or call the shop at 912-692-1400.

OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE NEW
We listed an Antiqueburst Andy in Bob’s Boutique earlier this week but it was snatched up right away. If you are sad to have missed out, you’re in luck: another one is ready! Give us a call (912-692-1400), shoot us an email (info@benedettoguitars.com), or click on over to Bob’s Boutique to purchase.
INVENTORY INCOMING
The 16-B might just be the perfect archtop guitar for working musicians. It is compact, comfortable, durable, and resistant to feedback, all reasons our CEO and President, Howard Paul chooses this model as his sole gigging guitar. This particular instrument has a rare one-piece neck cloaked in a stunning Antiqueburst finish. Best of all, it’s ready to ship so you can skip the 10 to 12 month wait of a built-to-order 16-B. For purchase inquiries, call the shop (912-692-1400), shoot us an email (info@benedettoguitars.com), or buy online from Bob’s Boutique (https://www.benedettoguitars.com/product-category/bobs-boutique/)

FAREWELL, COLIN
We’re sad to bid a warm farewell to Colin Samek this week. Colin began his time at Benedetto in the spring of 2015 as our CNC operator and later Whitewood Department Supervisor. His expertise and strong work ethic will be greatly missed. All of us at Benedetto would like to wish Colin safe travels and all the best with his future endeavors!
READY TO SHIP
It’s been a hot minute but we finally have a Professional Series guitar in Bob’s Boutique and ready to ship! Head over to Bob’s Boutique to check it out…
Absolutely the world’s finest travel guitar, the Andy model is the take anywhere, tiny tyke that will turn heads wherever it goes. Indistinguishable from a full sized guitar when amplified on stage, this guitar is perfect for everything from hitting the jam session when you roll into town to composing your next masterpiece back at the hotel.
The Andy features a comfy 23″ scale, 1 11/16″ nut width, and a 12″ x 3″ body carved from solid maple on the back and sides with a solid spruce top. With help from the handmade Kent Armstrong mini humbucker, the guitar is warm, woody, and belies its size when amplified.
SWEET SIXTEEN
Another custom 16-B completed and ready to ship, this one with non-standard Violinburst finish on upgraded woods, flame maple binding, B-6 pickup, and mother of pearl accents.
