Wayne Wilkinson and his trio!

St. Patrick’s Day is upon us! This lovely cartoon is compliments of our “official holiday artist” Norbert Jansen, an extraordinary marine architect, guitarist & collector, and cartoonist! We’ve featured many of his guitar drawings over the years. Happy St. Patrick’s Day Weekend!

This gorgeous and unique La Venezia will head home today after coming in for a little TLC. Believe us when we say it sounds just as amazing as it looks!

Benedetto Production Manager and Master Luthier, Damon Mailand has made another lap around the sun and we can’t thank him enough for all of his efforts! Cheers to many years ahead… We can’t wait to see what beautiful, archtop creation comes out of your shop next!

Be sure to catch this record release show from Benedetto Artist, Jocelyn Gould if you happen to be in or near Toronto on April 15!

The Presidents… Two very special guitars belonging to Benedetto President/CEO, Howard Paul! They each feature 16-B body shape but with specifications more closely matching a Bravo Elite: Highly figured, European woods, and violin style tailpiece. Additionally they have deluxe, flame maple binding, traditional f-style sound holes, and are built with modified x-bracing (all features reminiscent of Jimmy Bruno’s “Little 16” from the 90s). The 7-string is finished with a Natural top and Miner Cabernet stained back and sides, while the 6-string is dressed in the 45th Anniversary variation on our Autumnburst finish.

We came across this fantastic clip of Benedetto players, Barry Greene and Taylor Roberts from a 2016 gig in Jacksonville, Florida. Great playing, fellas!

Pat Martino is an icon. While in good spirits, he’s been unable to tour for the last year and needs help from our jazz community. In addition to your generous gofundme gifts, watch for several concerts on Pat’s behalf featuring many of today’s most important artists, and for a one-of-kind Benedetto Pat Martino model auctioned entirely on Pat’s behalf. Also, a portion of the proceeds of every Pat Martino Signature Model guitar sold goes directly to Pat.

Another stunner snatched up! This one-off 16-B in Violinburst was destined for Bob’s Boutique until one savvy customer gave us call and made it their own. It’s a great reminder: If you don’t see your dream guitar in Bob’s Boutique, we may have already started building it for you. Give us a call or email jevans@benedettoguitars.com to see if we have your new guitar in the works!
