2007 Beneteau NL Custom - Acoustic Guitar
Marc Beneteau's Nick Lucas design is very popular. It harkens back to the 1920s and 30s Gibson model who's namesake was a famous player of the day. One key part of the design is the 13 Fret neck joint that keeps the bridge in the wider portion of the lower bout but allows that one more fret to play in. This sunburst beauty is Adirondack over Mahogany with a short 24.9" scale, lovely Maple bindings and a Spalted Maple rosette. The one modern touch, its side soundport, is a welcome upgrade that sounds great in the driver's seat. The beauty you see is equalled by what you hear. This is a very strong and proud small body guitar with volume and energy to spare. Blues, Rag and Old Time player will flip over this one.

Player Reviews:
"This is the perfect guitar for players who want that vintage small body character but prefer a modern neck and perfect playability. This guitar growls and has power to spare. It is extremely beautiful as well with Marc's lovely dark sunburst accented by Maple bindings. " - Paul Heumiller
