Before I get into it all, the plain truth is, I don’t want to sell it. I don’t know how else to say it. She’s that ridiculously good. �� I have lowered the price to a more accessible level. The guitar really is that sweet. Now she has to go to a good home. The guitar itself plays easier than I could imagine. She intonates perfecto. She sounds like a million bucks, with bells all over the place, superb separation of voice and deep mellow trebles. The woods are incredible, with a beautiful Engelmann Spruce Top and an equal match of Cocobolo Rosewood. The tuners are Waverly, the bridge is pyramided on its ends, with a handcrafted rosette, a K&K piezo pickup. She is simply gorgeous, perfectly appointed, workmanship thru the roof and the sound……holy acoustic guitar, Batman, the sound is pure heaven. Heck, that’s all I have to say on the matter. Media Link to video – http://youtu.be/14OEeX5wReA Marc Beneteau – Cherokee Shuffle – performed by Michael Alessi – produced by Dan Bouza – video above is from the same recording session. MP3 Audio – 200217-Marc Beneteau Acoustic Guitar 2000 Model 000-12 – this is me noodling around with the tuning, playing a bit of “The Black Oak Harp” and “Dhiana’s Playtime” both written by me a “long” time ago. I’m just exploring the guitar and my steel string technique once again, and figured I’d put the recorder on so I could share. I wanted it to be a raw recording and yep, I got that. I love this guitar. So clear and resonant. https://www.savageclassical.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/200217-Marc-Beneteau-Acoustic-Guitar-2000-Model-000-12.mp3 MP3 Audio – 201101-Marc Beneteau Acoustic Guitar 2000 Model 000-12-black gum – a rough rendition of my new “Black Gum Jambo” – the guitar is simply great, responsive, round and full sounding. https://www.savageclassical.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/201101-Marc-Beneteau-Acoustic-Guitar-2000-Model-000-12-black-gum.mp3 Shipping: Premium Single Arch Top or Double Arch HSC is included in your purchase price.
