"I've been building and developing this model since the late 1970s and it continues to be one of my most popular guitars. Genuinely versatile, it is equally responsive to fingerpicking or strumming." - Marc Beneteau
This Beneteau Concert Standard features a beveled arm rest on the bass side of the body for added ergonomics. It is truly a comfortable guitar. The vibrant Honduran Rosewood and Sitka Spruce produces even tone that is consistently beautiful from a whisper to a roar. It's also a feast for the eyes. Marc's innate aesthetic sense and signature purfling have made this guitar as gorgeous as it is playable and toneful.

Player Reviews:
"I am blown away by this guitar. I think the woods just really blend perfectly to create a incredible voice. The Honduran Rosewood is rich and Sitka is complex and warm. Combined with Marc's trademark clarity and balance, you get it all in this guitar. As Al stated you can hear every note inside of chords and melodies soar. This is one of the very best sounding Beneteaus I've played and I love the subtle, natural beauty. " - Paul Heumiller
"This is a great guitar for fingerstyle players. The tone is even across the strings with no one frequency dominating. I found it really friendly to dense chords where every note needs to be heard." - Al Petteway
