ELECTRIC: BENNY SERIES

Bob Benedetto stopped individually making his standard Benny model in mid-1999. In March of 1999, Benedetto licensed his name to the Fender Musical Instruments Corp. (FMIC) for his standard models (including the Benny Series), and these were made by Guild Guitars in their custom shop located in Corona, CA. Benedetto plans to continue to produce this model under his own trademark beginning 2007.
