Sound Pure's Take
This is an absolutely dead mint condition Bambino Elite that came in from a good customer. A great way to get into a Flagship Benedetto at a discounted price. More photos available by request.
From Benedetto Guitars
This captivating guitar has a master grade, hand carved spruce top and features a flamed or quilted maple hand carved back with matching sides. At 14 1/2" wide and 2 1/4" deep, the Bambino Elite is small in stature but huge in tonality and flexibility.
