Benavides Guitars are built with four principles of equal importance: beauty, tone, playability and longevity. A hand fitted dovetail neck join, compound radius fretboard, tap-tuned tone bars, hot hide glued top braces, and the finest quarter-sawn timbers in the world are a few components of what will make your customized Benavides Guitar sound gorgeous.
The 00-13 hass a classic L-00 shape with a 13 fret neck joint, which has become increasingly popular in the past few years. Because of the joint at the 13th fret the location of the bridge is in a different placement on the soundboard than either a 12 or 14 fret neck joint. Its relation to the waist, soundhole and the bracing pattern used all contribute to the open and complex voice of this smaller bodied guitar.
