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!

Check out this amazing new Bravo available in Bob’s Boutique! With a comfy 16″ body and laminated construction, you won’t find a more gig-able guitar anywhere. The one-off, Cherry finish will set you apart and glow under stage lights or inspire you to pick it up every time you pass your practice space.

We think wood is great and it’s perfectly fine to show off the best of it! Honeyblonde, Blonde, and Natural (left to right) are our most translucent finishes showing all the details of the beauty beneath.

Happiest of birthdays to our favorite leap-year baby, Dave Miner! Whether you spend it clinking glasses of Miner Benedetto Cabernet with close friends, strumming one of your many beautiful Vino-dettos, or a combination of both in the new Benedetto lounge at Miner Family Winery, we hope it’s your most fantastic day of the year!
