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.

0-12 12 String

The Model 0 is a parlour size guitar with a 12 fret to the body neck joint. This little guitar is comfortable to sit and play with and has a tone to captiveate. This has been carefully balanced in a 12 string guitar with tonal complexity and is stunningly beautiful.

The African mahogany neck is reinforced with two carbon fibre rods alongside the double action truss rod to ensure life long playability of the guitar. The headstock is reinforced with a scooped volute and a back plate to strengthen the most vulnerable place on the neck. This Deluxe example features a bronze pearloid headplate with bronze painted slots.
