I just want to say I was star stuck by meeting Benedetto. This was at a small promotional event for Pure Sound in Durham NC. He was super nice and answered any question I just wish I could have hung out with him longer. Benedetto and his business partner Howard Paul are great guys. This is a pic of me on the left, Bob, and my friend Derek Day and his Benedetto Bravo.

I've heard nothing but good things about Bob.
Both as luthier and a person.
Sure doesn't hurt to have a wife like Cindy either.
She is a promoter!

Bob's a true gentleman as well as a legend.
Had the great pleasure to meet him at the Miami festival. Am looking forward to traveling to Savannah one day to see his set up (as well as visit the town!).
