For Sale – Benedetto One-Off custom Limoncello “Ben-bino” limited addition guitar - $4,250, includes professional shipping to lower 48. Previously listed and then pulled, maybe more than once. Couldn’t do it but selling (until I get cold feet again) to fund another build.
This is the second Ben-bino Bob made – ordered after I fell in love with the first one he made. Completed August 2010. A Benny body with Bambino sound holes. This has a Flamed European Maple top, “Sweet Tea” conversion varnish finish, unbound F-Holes, mahogany tummy cut back, mahogany sides. Inlay abalone on faceplate at tuner post and side of neck and custom Mother of Pearl Lotus Blossom inlay on headstock. Gotoh Delta Series 510 Tuners. Standard Benny neck width.
Living close to the factory, I have been fortunate that all care has been provided from Benedetto master luthier, Damon Mailand. Just back from his restringing and periodic “love”, strung with TI BeBop 12’s with a wound G.
Never gigged, non-smoker, although it does have some “warts” that do not impact the wonderful playability of the guitar: There is checking on the front and wear at the top of the binding where my forearm would rest on the top/side. And a small nick on the back. Includes OHSC.
Possible downside: You may want to be named “Bob Stevens”, as the back of the headstock says “Custom made for Bob Stevens” above Bob Benedetto’s signature. This is a true one-off custom ordered with Bob Benedetto’s involvement throughout.

That’s a classy looking Single Cut! What’s the neck spec like? I have a Bambino for comparison sake. Medium C .850” to 1” 1-12 frets and 1&11/16 the.
