2008 Beneteau Concert Standard - Grand Concert Acoustic Guitar
Marc Beneteau's amazing clarity and articulation come through in every guitar he makes. For this Concert Standard Marc chose premium African Blackwood and paired it with European Spruce so it offers up the combination of rich, dark lows and mids along with bright and clear highs. This is certainly one of those guitars that can serve many masters as it's happy to play styles ranging from Blues to Celtic and beyond. It's happy played soft or hard. The cutaway, armrest bevel and Calton Case compliment the premium woods to make this a sophisticated Beneteau.

Player Reviews:
"I own a Beneteau guitar and it's one that gets a lot of play time. Every time I see it I have to pick up and play and that's the sign of a great maker. This Concert Standard from Marc has it all, African Blackwood, Euro and the amazing tone those woods are capable of. It's extremely versatile and comes with a Calton case to protect it while you enjoy it!" - Paul Heumiller
"I like the warmth that the African Blackwood adds to this guitar. There are no harsh notes to be found on this one. It's great." - Al Petteway
"This guitar excelled at all the style I threw its way. It has great basses that you can feel in your chest, and it balances them with warm and fat mids and trebles. The sustain is really fine, playability is first-rate, and it has wonderfully elegant looks." - Al Schlimm
