Benedetto guitars inspire players — of all levels — to be their best. For those who appreciate the refinement of a living, breathing handmade guitar, nothing less than a Benedetto will do. Elegant in form and voice, it is truly"The Signature of Jazz Guitar".

Each instrument is handmade by a small group of select luthiers, personally trained by Bob Benedetto. The team is dedicated exclusively to building Benedetto guitars in the Benedetto section of the Fender factory in Corona, California. Bob works hands-on with his team one week of every month to ensure consistency, and inspects every instrument before it is shipped. We are all very proud of these completely American handmade guitars.

In addition to the Benedetto brand, Bob's team is also responsible for Guild's elite Johnny Smith Award and Stuart models, made with the same care and ongoing pursuit of excellence as the Benedetto brand.
