That's hot.

My beef with the Collings was it's really just a 335 copy...there's not much uniqe about it...the Collings singlecut semi-hollow has more character.

This Benedetto, though...drool.

I completely agree... Gorgeous!

From my memory of briefly playing a standard Benny, the neck is very much the same profile as the Bravos I previously owned. The necks are wonderfully comfortable and smooth to play.

Again, if money grew on trees and I could get and Benedetto Benny, then this would be the one I would grab.

Comparably prices as the Collings Soco Deluxe so I wonder how they compare... hmmm?

I also agree with Mr. B. Choosing the Collings Soco Deluxe or this Benny is thankfully a problem I won't have to deal with in the near future.






Cheers,
Steve

It's gorgeous! The Benny's are usually made with spruce tops, right? I would love to try one of these some day.

Too bad that Benny sold a while back. But I do like this Bravo that's available
