2008 Benedetto Bambino Maple, Espresso Finish
Here we have a post-Fender Bob Benedetto “Bambino.” Don’t let its small stature fool you — it’s got a voice big enough to fill a room. Designed with the gigging musician in mind, this guitar is lightweight and compact. Its laminated maple top and back and maple neck are designed for comfort. The two nickel plated Benedetto A6 pickups are all you’ll need. If you’re looking for a huge sound in a compact package, the Bambino was designed by The Master himself with you in mind.
2006 Eichelbaum OM Madagascar/German
Here’s a beautiful Eichelbaum OM. It has all the grace you’d expect in a small-bodied guitar, but enough authority for days when you’re not in a mood to take prisoners. The Madagascar sides and back display beautiful reddish hues, the German spruce top provides a wonderful contrast. While this is a great all-round guitar that any player would enjoy, fingerstylists will fall in love straight away.
