Sound Pure's Take
Loving this finish. It's eye-catching, yet subtle. It reminds me of the old "TV yellow" finishes. White gave off too much glare on black and white televisions, so you went with something just faintly darker than white.
Sounds tremendous. I just plugged into a Jazz Suprema with very satisfying results. Had to force myself to switch it off! You definitely get that warm, woody tone of a jazz-box in a slick, manageable package. Inviting and textured tone that seduces. Truly lovely neck profile, too. The kind of big, comfy C that fills out your palm perfectly.

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 1/2" 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 nickel plated Benedetto A6 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.
