During his Golden Period in 2012, this Sinfonietta marks one of the final chapters in his legendary luthier career.
The only Benedetto ever built with a Curly Western Redwood top
French polish finish no longer offered on any Benedetto guitars
Golden Period designation (serial S2061GP) carved entirely by Bob in Savannah, GA
Sinfonietta: Benedetto’s most expensive & exclusive model
Curly Walnut back & sides with walnut-lined binding
Spanish Cedar neck (1-11/16" nut), 16” x 3” body, 25” scale
Ebony fingerboard, bridge, & tailpiece, oval soundhole, floating bridge
This is impossible to reproduce today. Bob himself recalled setting aside this piece of curly redwood for years before selecting it for this build.
A once in a lifetime guitar the culmination of Benedetto’s artistry, & a playable piece of archtop history.
