Benedetto Sinfonietta Koa - LH, One-Of-A-Kind [MSRP $40,000 MAP $32,000] - SALE $24,000

Custom, One of a Kind by Bob Benedetto!

This lightweight left-handed instrument, inspired by the Golden Period, has a powerful yet warm bass response, coupled with ringing overtones in the upper register, and an overall sparkling quality. This instrument is distinguished by the gorgeous curly koa which is a cherished tone wood that is only found in Hawaii. Koa can be thought of as mahogany on caffeine! This custom Benedetto creation is absolutely one of the most stunning guitars we have seen.
