Frequently Asked Questions About Benedetto

While not vintage in the traditional sense, Benedetto guitars are built to the specifications and quality of instruments from the 1950s and 60s, often commanding a similar level of respect.

Bob Benedetto oversees all aspects of production and is heavily involved in the building process, though a skilled team of luthiers contributes to the construction of each guitar.

A floating pickup is not directly mounted to the guitar top, allowing it to vibrate more freely and produce a more open, airy, and resonant tone characteristic of vintage jazz guitars.
