Our Dream Series Nick Lucas Model L-00 with Marc Beneteau has been extremely popular and here's a rare chance at a preowned example. This is #1 of the limited edition of 5 we commissioned from Marc. Based on the Gibson Nick Lucas models of the 1930s, this is a small body, 13 fret guitar with strong energy and vintage tone. The Brazilian set on this one is very well quartered with rich hues. Topped with Adirondack for power and classic voicing. The sunburst is stunning as are the fret markers and rosette which combine to make this a modern version of a classic guitar.

Player Reviews:
"We only select a few builders to make Dream Series instruments and Marc Beneteau has created something special for us. This 13 fret Nick Lucas, L-00 size guitar is perfect for Blues, Rags and Old Time, but it's also versatile for just about anything. A perfect small body guitar for the serious player." - Paul Heumiller
"The Nick Lucas design is one of my favorites. There is something special about a small guitar with a deep body with 13 frets to the body. It gives it just a tad more tension and a bit more bass response. The sunburst and the Brazilian rosewood on this one are really special." - Al Petteway
