Benedetto Manhattan

[Jabberwocky]

I think Benedetto Savannah allows a thicker graduation of the soundboard for an amplified tonal response should you request it. The scale length of a Benedetto Manhattan is 25" so it is not going to sound like a Gibson L-5CES. It is its own thing.

Hi everyone, I currently own a Gibson L5 WES made in 2007. Recently, I've been eyeing a 1990s Benedetto Manhattan jazz guitar because its neck width is 45mm. I've never played a guitar with this width before, so I'd like to ask if you all buy guitars with the same neck width? I'm used to my Gibson L5 WES, and switching to a Benedetto feels like I'd have to readjust the feel all over again. Any suggestions?

If one is patient enough he will get used to the adjusting process and it will happen faster and faster. I used to be a "one guitar only" player, but now, after a couple of decades spent switching guitars (weekly or daily) I find it musically beneficial to have to adjust to different instruments.

Well if nothing else it’s way safer than trying that with wives,Lol!
At least that’s my excuse, Merry Xmas all!

Non of my 9 guitars have the same neck and it doesn't bother me at all when I switch. There would be an adjustment, no doubt, but the more you play it, the more natural it will feel.
