1981 Benedetto Custom Model 7 String Electric Guitar - Sunburst
This fine guitar, by serial number, would be the 64th guitar built by master luthier Bob Benedetto in 1981. Sharing many specs of the Cremona models he built in the era, this particular 7 string instrument was actually a custom build for Ken Spooner, the well known songwriter. From top to bottom this guitar displays amazing selection of woods, impeccable detail in every feature and just plays and sounds outstanding.. Truly just fantastic craftsmanship. There is very little player wear or damage of any kind to mention. The guitar has "Annie" inlayed on the custom pick guard as well as other custom inlayed work over the instrument. It was dedicated to Ken and Annie ( Ken's wife) on the interior label by Bob himself. Comes complete with original hardshell case. Please email or call for additional info.
