Yet another gorgeous Antiqueburst Bambino is heading out the door. This custom ordered beauty features a single A-6 pickup in black chrome, all black hardware and a gold logo.

You can imagine it’s not exactly easy to take our breath away here at Benedetto… Gorgeous is our day-to-day afterall. Every once in a while though, something with a tiny bit of extra Benedetto-isma rolls into the photo booth and gets extra “oos”, “ahs,” and “wows” from folks passing by. This one was as custom piece built to order, but we bet we can do it again if somebody wants to commission one!

We love seeing our old friend, Bill Neale sporting a tux and getting the job done with his trusty Bambino that he has had since 2007.

“I received many compliments on the tone of my Bambino and how it blended in perfectly… What a great guitar!” -Bill Neale

This gorgeous Bravo Deluxe in Blonde shipped out this week. We’ll miss it and all, but I suppose we could always build another one like it… let us know if you would like to be the one we build it for!

We had a very special visitor at the shop yesterday: the one and only Bob Benedetto! It would appear that he and Damon are scheming, but the matter of greater urgency is that Bob delivered signed copies of “Making an Archtop Guitar” which are now available in the merch section of Bob’s Boutique.

Refreshing as ever, this Limoncello Bravo Deluxe model is available and ready to ship straight from Bob’s Boutique to your home, studio, or stage.

The Bravo Deluxe model is hands-down the most gig-able guitar in our model lineup. A laminated spruce top and highly figured, laminated maple back make this guitar resistant to feedback, durable, and stable, perfect for any live performance application. With all ebony appointments, all the resonance required to feel alive in your hands, and the Benedetto pedigree, this guitar is equally comfortable in the studio or practice space where it will inspire your best performances.

This Bambino Elite just slipped into the finish department… You didn’t hear it here, but it’s unspoken for and destined for Bob’s Boutique. Who wants it?

Our fine Italian leather straps are back in stock in a variety of colors and available to purchase from the merch section on the Bob’s Boutique page. Nothing needs to be done if you’ve already spoken to us about including one with your guitar; we have them set aside!

We didn’t make it to the Jazz Education Network conference this year but really enjoyed seeing pics and video from all the Benedetto players in attendance. Here is a particularly great shot of Shawn Purcell on stage with singer Darden Purcell.
