Benedetto Bravo Elite, Violinburst [MSRP $18,500] - $14,800

16" Carved Archtop, Venetian cutaway, Violinburst finish.

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.
