Benedetto Bravo Deluxe Honey Blonde S1109 Archtop Guitar, from Benedetto

This instrument is a great way to get into a professional Benedetto guitar at a price not seen until recently. The guitar has the classic Benedetto tone, nice, round and even up and down the fretboard. The upgraded flamed back and sides are stunning. We find the B-6 pickup to be a little darker and warmer than the A-6. It's just got a huge sound. This is the ultimate medium-size jazz box.

An immaculately dressed but still reasonably priced Professional Series instrument, we have upgraded the Bravo with a deluxe binding package on the body, neck, headstock and sound holes, and added a B-6 black pickup.
