Overview

Premiere craftsmanship, a laminated maple top with Florentine cutaway, and dual pickups.

As its name implies, the Benedetto Bambino Hollow Body Electric Guitar 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.

The Bambino 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 and custom coil-tap switching system, 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. Includes hardshell case.

Robert Benedetto is widely acknowledged as today's foremost maker of archtop guitars. Over a prolific four-decade career, he has personally handcrafted nearly 800 instruments, including 500 archtops. "My roots are in jazz guitar. It's been my love and my focus since Day One."
