2003 Beneteau 000-12C - 000 Acoustic Guitar
Marc makes amazing 000s and this one is a cannon. A 12 fret tone machine with the cutaway for full access. Featuring Ziricote back and sides with a powerful Adirondack top for terrific projection with great clarity. Big full trebles and great pop in the bass strings. Another great one from Mr. Beneteau.

Player Reviews:
"This design is the best of two worlds. The 12 fret design puts the bridge in the sweet spot of the top, but the cutaway gives you full access. The 000 shape is famous for it's strong trebles and great punch, here in Ziricote and Adirondack the power is indeed present. This guitar is a blues machine but also has the character to excel when beauty and richness are called for. The dimension are all perfect for fingerstyle, 1 13/16" nut, 2 5/16" at the saddle. A joy to hold and to hear..." - Paul Heumiller
