Benedetto Bravo Elite Custom 2015

Crafted in 2015. A true masterpiece from Benedetto, this guitar has a 16" lower bout and a body depth of 2.5" along with a Venetian cutaway. This Bravo Elite Custom is built with hand graduated select spruce top and parallel braces, mahogany back and sides recovered from a river bed in Belize, and a Honduran mahogany neck. The fretboard is ebony with a beautiful and simple floral inlay at the 12th fret. The tailpiece, bridge, pickup ring, control knobs, and pickguard are beautifully crafted from ebony as well. The pickup is a warm and clear sounding Benedetto B-6. The nice Gotoh 510 tuners have ebony buttons. The scale length is 25" with a 12" radius and the nut is 1 3/4". A absolutely treasure of a guitar with unique features that make it stand out among other Benedettos. Includes the original Cedar Creek Benedetto hardshell case and owner's manual.

At Dusty Strings, we thoroughly inspect each new and used instrument prior to offering it for sale and take whatever steps we believe are necessary to ensure it will perform its best for most players. Our standards are exceptionally high. For new instruments, that means we make minor adjustments as needed, for good playability, but that instruments with fundamental flaws are returned to their manufacturer without going for sale. For used instruments, we perform whatever cleaning, restringing, adjustments, or repairs that are needed for them to perform their best.

The result of our attention to detail is that when you first take your newly purchased instrument out of its case, it will be ready to play. Does this mean the instruments will satisfy your particular sensibilities or account for settling into its new environment? Perhaps not, but those issues fall in the realm of custom setup, something that our professional repair shop is happy to help with if you live within visiting distance. If you live outside our area, we’d recommend a visit to your favorite local luthier, who will be able to help.
