CAUGHT IN THE AXE!

A (fun, I hope!) play on words from Just Jazz Guitar magazine's 'Caught in the Act' column  :-)

This flickr photo, captioned "Just look at that wood!", was taken at the Fall Philly Guitar Show Nov 2009 of our Bob's Boutique Spalted Alder Benny.

WHEN YOU WISH...

Encore performance from BG Fan Dave Rattray of Scotland on his ANDY!

WHERE THERE'S A WIL-KINS... 

Always a must-see (and hear!) player, Jack Wilkins performs tonight at "Highlights in Jazz: Tribute to Lew Tabackin" in New York City's Tribeca Performing Arts Center.

One of my favorite photos of Jack "Amadeus" Wilkins, with his original Fratello model...hard to believe it was 18 years ago (1992!) at our home/shop in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania.

SECOND TIME AROUND - now on BB!

Our first Andy Elite ("Andrew") was so popular we thought we'd make a second...this one in our signature honey blonde, on some gorgeous figured maple!

(Now on the Boutique!)

FLOWER POWER

If you love our standard BRAVO yet want a touch of the elegant Benedetto floral inlay (on tailpiece and on headstock), then this guitar might be for you!  Heading to the Boutique this week   :-)

GOT POPCORN?

You may have noticed we swapped out the BENEDETTO VIDEOS on our homepage and replaced it with the gear site...since I've rec'd emails saying they have been missed (thanks!), please click here to view them - again!

OLD NEWS IS GOOD NEWS  :-)

   Don't forget (ever!) our Archived News! Due to "Cyber Law", we can only keep so much News "current" (what appears when you click on "News") but we do archive all of it - back to 2006 when we first opened here in Savannah. Over 90 pages thus far!

Now that's pretty good News we think  :-)
