Bambino Deluxe
This is a Bambino with a Jazz Attitude…this deluxe version maintains the dimensional specifications of the Bambino model
but adds modern sound holes, a flamed maple veneer top, gold hardware, and a deluxe binding package (w/b/w/b/w) to the body,
neck and headstock. The sound holes enhance the acoustic volume to the unplugged instrument and give the guitar a more traditional
archtop look with only a single pickup placed in the rhythm position. To show off the beautiful flamed top, this instrument is
available only in Natural and Honey Blonde finishes.

Bambino
As its name implies, the Bambino is a baby in size...but with a big voice. This extraordinary model is a
prayer answered for the musician with a lot of time on the road. Its lightweight and compact 14 ½" body is
easily manageable in airport traffic or taxis. It features a laminated maple top and back, a maple neck shaped
for playing comfort as only a Benedetto can be. With two chrome plated Benedetto A–6 pickups, it’s all you’ll ever
need! So, if you’re looking for the tone of a big jazz box but need the compact comfort of a smaller guitar, this
model was made for you.
