Here we have an incredible, one-of-a-kind custom left-handed archtop from one of the world’s most renowned and collectible jazz guitar makers - Benedetto.
This stunning masterpiece was commissioned by DHR Guitars - a highly respected archtop guitar dealer at the time. It features a carved, hand–graduated and tuned, master grade European spruce top and carved, hand–graduated master grade figured Koa for the back and sides. Handcrafted in Savannah, Georgia.
The Sinfonietta is a 16″ x 3″ deep, non-cutaway oval hole acoustic guitar with a symmetrical Benedetto tailpiece and a 25″ fingerboard scale. While appointments vary, these Golden Period instruments all have stunning tonal qualities. This is one of a handful (if that) of lefties made and features the most exquisite figured Koa for the back and sides.
In excellent condition with original hardshell case.
