Bravo
The Bravo is available in 3 models:
Bravo Elite
If you love the size and feel of a 16" archtop with a slightly more shallow depth of 2 ½", but must have a
solid carved guitar, the Bravo Elite is the perfect guitar. Comfortable, ideally balanced, and stunning to behold,
it borrows La Venezia’s violin styling. Available only in Violinburst finish, the Bravo Elite is free of binding and
fretboard inlay. It features a solid, hand graduated spruce top and book–matched flamed or quilted maple back and sides.

The Bravo was designed to gratify the player’s need for a tastefully–detailed, rich and full–sounding thin–body

flamed maple back construction. The Bravo features a flamed maple neck, gorgeous abalone floral inlay at the 12th
fret and the Benedetto A–6 humbucking pickup. Crafted for the player who has longed to express himself or herself on
