2006 Beneteau Baritone - Acoustic Guitar
We custom ordered this Baritone with premium Brazilian Rosewood and Bearclaw Adirondack Spruce in Marc's new M (0000) body shape. The result is a Baritone with clarity, power and depth. This one goes from soul-shaking to rich and haunting. We added a cutaway, armrest bevel, soundport, pickup and Calton case to make this a complete instrument. Recording artist Don Ross, one of our favorite players, uses a Beneteau Baritone and it's easy to understand why.

Player Reviews:
"We've long been fans of Don Ross's music and the sound of his Beneteau Baritone guitar. Marc exceeded our expectations on this one. The Brazilian Rosewood is among the best you'll find and it's paired with a gorgeous Bearclaw Adirondack top. Together you get all the power and headroom you can possibly need but also fullness and warmth. Marc's M design is a jumbo OM and it makes for a Baritone with a full voice that is clear and controlled. It's also very easy to hold for hours on end. The armrest bevel makes for even more comfort and the soundport ensures you'll get to enjoy the tone as much as the audience. It doesn't get any better than this... for those of you not familiar with Baritones, they are simply longer scale guitars that you can tune down to A, Bb, etc. So you get to play in another register which is wonderful for writing and gives you a new dimension. With a capo you can come right back to normal scale and pitch, so they are very versatile." - Paul Heumiller
