Marc Beneteau is known for his great baritone guitars with players like Don Ross and Dream Guitars owner Paul Heumiller playing them. They have amazing power, clarity and tons of tone. In fact Paul Heumiller provided the specs for this custom Baritone from Marc based on many he has played and enjoyed. First there is very rare Andaman Padauk for the body which always produces a clarity and presence that is sublime for the low baritone register. For the top Paul requested master grade Sitka for it’s power and overtones, this top is especially tight grained and silky. For versatility we made it a multiscale with a 28″ scale on the bass and 27″ on the treble. This setup allows for movement between many tunings and keeps the bass low and big while maintaining sweet and easy to play treble strings. To make it complete Paul added front and back BEVELS so it’s very comfortable and lovely touches such as the bound fingerboard with extension and the custom Spalted Elm Rosette. This is what we call a Baritone, an incredible Baritone!

Here at DG we see and play more guitars than any luthier or guitarist. We see hundreds every year and get to constantly compare them side-by-side. So when we spec a guitar it is done with years of vast experience. Guitars like this Beneteau are the result and this one is a masterpiece. I had the chance to show this to Tony McManus at the Swannannoa Gathering Guitar Week here in town and after playing it a while he simple said "this is one of the very best Baritones I've ever played.". He proceeded to use it on stage that night and as I sat in the audience I couldn't agree more. This is soul food!
