2020 Benedetto Andy — 3/4 Scale Archtop

For your consideration, Garrett Park Guitars presents this 2020 Benedetto Andy, a superb example finished in natural nitrocellulose lacquer. Designed as a ¾-scale archtop that retains the tonal authority of Benedetto’s full-size instruments, the Andy has long been favored by players seeking a compact, exceptionally responsive jazz guitar without compromise in materials or craftsmanship.

Hand-carved from solid spruce and maple, this Andy displays Benedetto’s trademark clarity and warmth, with a resonant acoustic voice and a lightweight feel at just 4lbs 9oz. The natural spruce top shows a clean, even grain, while the espresso back—deep maroon in hue—adds a refined visual contrast. This one-owner instrument remains in excellent condition with minimal playwear and no cracks, breaks, or repairs. The nitrocellulose finish is clean and free of significant blemishing.

The set-in maple neck sports a comfortable medium-C profile, paired with a 23" scale, 12" radius, and 1 11⁄16" nut, making it fast and inviting for both chord-melody and single-note work. The ebony fingerboard, adorned with Benedetto’s floral inlay at the 12th–13th frets, is smooth and perfectly dressed. Original frets show only light wear and play cleanly across the board. Hardware remains fully original, including the ebony adjustable bridge, ebony Benedetto Professional Series tailpiece, and Gotoh tuners.

Its built-in mini-humbucker delivers the articulate, rounded tone Benedetto players expect, with factory-original wiring, pots, and capacitors functioning flawlessly. Nothing has been modified, replaced, or altered. The guitar is currently set up with 12s and plays beautifully with low action and no buzzing or dead spots.

This 2020 Andy comes from its sole original owner and includes its original Benedetto gigbag along with strings, manual, and truss rod wrench. An elegant, meticulously crafted instrument, it represents an exceptional opportunity for anyone seeking the unmistakable Benedetto voice in a compact, travel-friendly form.
