La Venezia
The La Venezia represents the pinnacle of pure acoustic archtop design, materials and
craftsmanship—and is a culmination and celebration of Robert Benedetto’s experience as both
a guitar and violin maker. Every aspect of this guitar has been designed, built and tuned
to present the premium tonal palette for the most discriminating player. From its hand–selected
European cello woods, ebony cello–style tailpiece, and finely carved re–curve in the top and back,
to its aesthetically classic design—void of binding and inlays—La Venezia’s beauty is unparalleled.
