Benny Bubbletto is SOLD! 4/2023
This 16 inch Archtop Guitar is my tribute to the man who literally wrote the book on making Archtop guitars, Mr. Robert Bennedetto. All of my creations are centered around his writings. In my early days of building, I down sized his templates and techniques to make my first archtop ukuleles, and have stuck to them as the years have rolled on. Many Thanks to Bob.
When Steve Grimes reviewed this guitar while back on Maui, he said … “Raven, This is what you’re looking for in an Archtop guitar! Lightweight, big sound, very playable, and by the way, it happens to be very pretty.” That was the nicest compliment he ever gave one of my instruments. Thanks, Steve.
I saved some space on the center of the headstock for a personal touch; an inlay, some initials, whatever you want to make it your own.
