Benedetto Custom Archtop Jazz Guitar

This guitar was custom made for me personally by Robert Benedetto. He made it for me in 1996. It is considered extremely valuable as Bob no longer makes these guitars himself so it is an original. This guitar was the first real quality instrument I played when I first became a recording artist and is on the front cover of my debut album Velvet, recorded in 1998. It was also my guitar of choice on my follow up albums Hip Sway, Groovalicious, Soul Express and Love & Paragraphs. I toured with it extensivley and it is a true vintage great sounding instrument. I retired this guitar when it was valued at too high a price for me to tour with.
