Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
SP Luthier Notes: A majority of frets showed evidence of play wear. As such, the frets were leveled, recrowned, and polished back to a near mint state. The guitar required a full adjustment to the truss rod, nut, and bridge to be brought to a perfect level of playability. No further work was required.
WHAT A GUITAR! This is one of the liveliest and most resonant instruments we've had in the shop as of late - this has all of the quirks of a 2-pickup jazzbox, with all maple construction and ebony bridge, tailpiece and fingerboard. This thing has snap and spank BUT is fully hollow and with no F-Holes! You can do more than jazz on this thing, and we plugged it in for some blues and rock tones and it performed flawlessly. This is a helluva piece, don't let the jazzbox thing fool you...this can do it all!!!
From Benedetto Guitars
As its name implies, the Bambino is a baby in size, but with a big voice. This extraordinary model is a prayer answered for the musician with a lot of time on the road. Its lightweight and compact 14 ½” body is easily manageable in airport traffic or taxis. It features a laminated maple top and back, a maple neck shaped for playing comfort as only a Benedetto can be. With two chrome plated Benedetto A–6 pickups, it’s all you’ll ever need! So, if you’re looking for the tone of a big jazz box but need the compact comfort of a smaller guitar, this model was made for you.
