What a special guitar!  When we brought this one in the immaculate playability, lively acoustic tone, and downright professional-quality amplified voice all check out just as we expected and hoped.  Upon further inspection, this guitar turned out to have an even deeper story behind it.
  While the label inside the instrument designates this guitar as a 40th Anniversary model, the matching headstock inlay Bob did for those is, quite obviously, no where to be found.  We contacted Howard Paul at Benedetto to get to the bottom of this one.  It turns out the guitar was made by Bob himself as part of that 40th Anniversary run in 2008.
  This guitar was put into storage while the company went in a new direction.  Bob pulled the guitar out for inspection in 2010 and discovered it needed a new neck.  The work was expertly done by Bob.  All 40 of the anniversary inlays were used on the initial run of instruments, hence the standard headstock on the model as it is now.  The guitar stayed with Benedetto until it was purchased in 2012.
  But that's just the beginning!  After a quick buff, dress, and setup from out luthier, this historic instrument is ready for many, many more years of playing, be it professional or personal.  

The guitar in very good condition with some finish checking on the top that is visible at certain angles.

The Bravo was designed to gratify the player’s need for a tastefully–detailed, rich and full–sounding thin–body that they could travel with—the next generation archtop guitar. It utilizes lightweight laminated spruce top and flamed maple back construction. The Bravo features a flamed maple neck, gorgeous abalone floral inlay at the 12th fret and the Benedetto A–6 humbucking pickup. Crafted for the player who has longed to express himself or herself on an instrument of the highest order, there simply is no substitute for the Benedetto pedigree.
