I had the pleasure of visiting the Benedetto factory this past Saturday. I met Bob, his wife Cindy, their CEO/jazz guitarist Howard Paul, and visiting jazz artist George Mesterhazy. We toured the factory, and sat and talked guitars most of the afternoon. Bob and his crew are the friendliest, most approachable people you'll ever meet. If you are interested in this workshop, I highly recommend you find a way to go - it will be well worth your time and money, guaranteed.
