Sound Pure's Take
A remarkable archtop from the talented folks at Benedetto. This Bravo is dripping with character, resonant and classy, equally at home comping or taking the spotlight with a jazzy solo.
The finish on this is one of the slickest they offer. Understated Elegance at its finest!
Feel, fit, finish, and of course, tone. This one checks all the boxes!
From Benedetto Guitars
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 hand-shaped, flamed maple neck, gorgeous abalone floral inlay at the 12th fret and the Benedetto A6 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.
