Benedetto Bravo 2005 - Honey Blonde

Benedetto Bravo - serial # 078 / year - 2005

This bravo was built during Bob's licensing arrangement with Fender.

Bob Benedetto provided training to the specialized team that hand built his guitars. Bob personally was a hands-on mentor to the group of craftsmen during that period.

Bob worked closely with the team that built his guitars to ensure his designs, materials, and techniques were followed exactly, he trained the core team and, as part of his Quality Control, personally inspected and signed each instrument and rejected guitars that were not up to his standard.

Bravo's are known as a "Players Working Guitar" as they have all of the quality, impeccable playability but the durability of a guitar built from a laminated lightweight Spruce top and Flamed Maple back and sides. 

This guitar has seen very little use in its 21 year life, the case looks like brand new, the guitar shows very little playing wear but has a couple of tiny edge dings visible in photos, these could easily be touched up by a skilled luthier / repair job.

I changed the Gold Seymour Duncan A6 pickup to a Black B6 as they sound warmer, more woody compared to the A6. the original Gold pickup A6 pickup is included with the Guitar.

The neck is perfectly flat and the truss shows no signs of much adjustment at all.

This Bravo was personally set up by the renowned Classical Guitar Luthier

Keith Vizcarra who has built Classical, and Electric Classical guitars for the worlds most famous players, he's also know for his impeccable set up abilities on Jazz Guitars.

I've known Bob as a friend since he built my first Benedetto in 1978, I've owned 15 of his guitars over the years. This is a truly extraordinary guitar for a player who needs a superb gigging guitar without the worry of taking a $50,000 guitar on gigs.
