AU (Oh!) NATURALE

To the Great folks at Benedetto Guitars: Just wanted to send a note that I recently purchased the (Bob's Boutique) one off natural Bambino from the Music Emporium [in Boston] and couldn't be more happy with the guitar.

This is the fourth Benedetto I have owned including the Benedetto/Guild Stuart model and a Bravo...

Thanks for making such a fine instrument!

Sincerely, Ken Ireland

Thanks for the kind words, Ken - sincerely!  :-)
