I am selling my Benedetto Bambino fully hollow body archtop guitar. If you don't know about benedetto then check out their website, they are one of the older and best boutique handmade guitar companies, All personally numbered and signed by bob benedetto himself. if you go to the benedetto website you can see all the specs and there are audio samples as well, i'm not allowed to post the link here. I'm selling because I mostly play telecaster these days and unfortunately need the money to make a cross country move so i need to sell. These are $4500 new, i'm willing to sell for much cheaper than it's worth because i really just need to sell it quickly so i can move next month. This guitar is Fully hollow with no f holes so it doesn't feedback easily and still gets a huge hollowbody sound. The pickups are handmade by benedetto a6 pickups and when on the front pickup it gets a huge L5 type sound. they are some of the best pickups i've ever played. Also the tone nob pulls out which switches it into single coil if you want a more thin, bright sound or to play some funk. It is super light which is very valuable as it doesn't weigh you down and break your back, the neck feels great and has super low action.This paint job is a one off custom paint job, which is deep black with a very subtle sparkle to it, which can only be seen close up or in the right light, so it has a subtle uniqueness to it and it doesn't look like another boring jazz guitar, but it's also not too wild and flashy. I've gotten lots of compliments on it and i love it. this guitar has a nitrocellulous finish, which enhances the warmth and tone, but this type of finish is never set, so it is very soft and nearly impossible to not get small dents and scratches, i have taken pictures of all the sight cosmetic imperfections. from my understanding however nitrocelulous is super easy to refinish because you don't have to take off the existing finish, you can just add it and it will combine with the existing finish. Please contact me with any questions, and you can send me your number if you'd like me to call you about it. Thanks!
