2016 Benedetto Bambino Custom - Antiqueburst, 1.75" Depth

The perfect jazz guitar doesn't exist?

The Bambino design from Benedetto is a fully hollow, all-Maple build with deleted f-holes for feedback resistance and a warm acoustic tone. If you're a fusion player who likes to venture outside the traditional realms of "jazz tone", you may find yourself struggling with a woofing, thick traditional hollowbody. The Bambino is able to go from Joe Pass to Steve Howe pretty quickly if you have a few pedals in front of you! The simple controls make the guitar responsive and easy to wield, and the effortless playability of the guitar make it so that if you can think of it- you can play it. The florentine cutaway provides tremendous comfort in the upper register, and a cozy C neck shape makes chording a breeze further down the neck. The tone is snappy, dynamic, and warm when translated through the in-house pickups, and the volume allows for quick swells that can create dramatic vocal-like effects.

A $6500 value today, along with a 10-month-plus wait time. Don't sleep on this beautiful handmade piece from Benedetto's family run factory in Georgia!
