Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: A few minor dents present on the guitar were filled, color-matched, and refinished. 

Crafted for exceptional comfort and feedback-resistant performance, the Benedetto Bambino is a professional-grade hollow archtop built for high-volume stage environments. Featuring a laminated maple top, back, and sides supported by parallel spruce bracing, it offers dense resonance with controlled acoustic output. Weighing just 5 lbs 11 oz, it features an American maple neck, a 22-fret ebony fingerboard with a signature 12th fret floral inlay, a 1 11/16" bone nut, and fine ebony appointments including an adjustable bridge, fingerrest, and Model EPS tailpiece. Powered by dual chrome Benedetto A-6 humbuckers wired through master volume and tone controls with a 3-way selector, it delivers warm, articulate jazz tones with modern clarity and effortless playability.

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.
