4, 5-string · Bolt-on (round neck joint, 3-point fastening)
The standard Benaco from Garda Guitars (Italy) - the same bolt-on 'round neck joint' 3-point construction, 34" scale, 22 medium-jumbo nickel-silver frets (stainless optional) and roasted pearwood/olivewood fingerboard as the Elite, but with pickups and electronics configured on request (passive CTS components) and a Gotoh 201B bridge, with tops optional. A simpler counterpart to the Benaco Elite, which adds Delano SBC pickups, a Delano Sonar 3 active/passive preamp, a semi-hollow modular body and the Garda bridge. Price on request (PDF).
