Benedetto Guitars
Ben-bino Custom

This guitar is my main one at moment , it's a custom model between Benny and Bambino deluxe with some details from Pat Martino Signature guitar.
I recorded the entire album GLOBETROTTER with this guitar, maple neck with Mahogany back and a real cool wood binding. 2 EMG pickup on it for a modern and precise sound.

Benedetto Bravo Elite
Archtop Guitar

This guitar has a twin, made at the same time for my Maestro and mentor Garrison Fewell.
I love my Bravo Elite, all solid wood, very light finish in a original Violinburst tinge.
I changed the pickup from B6 to a Benedetto PAF to have more punch when I play with trio or quartett.
Incredible acoustic sound and very balanced tone for a real Jazz Tone.

Here the link to all the specs:

Benedetto Fratello 7 Strings Archtop Guitar

My first 7 string guitar!
the Benedetto Fratello is considered the benchmark archtop guitar. Featuring premium tonewoods imported from around the world, its beauty lies in the details. Custom–designed, mother–of–pearl stylized block inlays; Benedetto guitars' acclaimed binding on its European spruce top, maple neck and ebony fingerrest; and its cello–style ebony tailpiece are standard fare on this guitar

Fender Stratocaster Sunburst

Classic and funky Fender Standard Stratocaster. I rely on it in studio and live when I play with jazz trio or a bigger band.

The Telecaster

With a strat style neck and a double rail humbucker this is a unique custom, semihollow versatile tele.

Ibanez Fusion Guitar

With 2 humbuckers with a middle single coil pickup, slightly wider neck and a floyd rose, this is a perfect setup for Fusion guitar gigs and live performances.

Larivee Acoustic Guitar

Love using acoustic to accompany lead singers in jazz duo. It always sounds dynamic and bright enough without being too harsh on the high frequencies.

Benedetto Guitars

I'm proud of partnering with Benedetto Guitars. In my opinion, these are some of the best archtop guitar you can find.

Every instrument by Benedetto Guitars is a masterpiece.

DV MARK AMPS
