2007 Beneteau M - Acoustic Guitar
We hand picked this guitar at the Healdsburg Guitar Festival. The voice of the slightly larger M sized body is big and bold. From the Beneteau Website: "The best way to describe my "M" model is to say that it is the same shape as my OM but enlarged to a full 16" width giving it an expanded bass response. Like the Mini Jumbo and Concert Standard, this model offers another choice in a full sized guitar suitable for fingerstyle playing or full strumming." Marc Beneteau has been working with us for a number of years now and our customers who've bought his instruments just love them. He somehow achieve amazing clarity and balance without lacking any power and punch. The Ebony & Spruce body here make a real impression both when you play soft and when you play hard. No wonder Tony McManus and Don Ross own Beneteau Guitars.

Player Reviews:
"As a grammy winning guitarist Al Petteway knows how to judge a guitars playability, so his comments above should not be taken lightly. The fact is every fret on this guitar sounds amazing, Marc's voice shines through. When I played this one at the show I was impressed by it's immediacy, it's power and the beautiful presence in the tone. The armrest bevel and soundport are very useful additions and the woods are top notch. It's little wonder why most of our Beneteau guitars presell. Well done." - Paul Heumiller
"This guitar frets perfectly all the way up the neck on every string. That is rare in a wooden instrument. The tone is also perfectly balanced across the strings." - Al Petteway
