Sound Pure's Take

A semi-hollow with everything I would expect from a Benedetto. An incredible neck (Benedettos have some of the fastest, most consistent necks), great pickups, and a comfortable body built for performance. The laminate semi-hollow construction means that this is one jazz guitar that will not have significant feedback issues. This is perfect for anyone who wants to get a warm, full hollowbody tone at loud venues or with a large ensemble. The Benedetto A6 pickups are voiced perfectly for this body, providing warmth and clarity with an even response anywhere on the neck. Add a coil-tapping push-pull pot and you have an extremely versatile instrument that can be used in a variety of settings.

I can't say enough about this neck, I feel incredibly comfortable playing it. This guitar is the sort of instrument that puts you at ease and allows you to perform at your highest level because you are confident in it feeling and sounding as good as you have always wanted it to. This is one instrument that begs to be played!

The RE200 from Evans Custom Amplifiers delivers rich jazz guitar tone in a light and portable package. The signature Evans sound has defined lows, warm, punchy midrange, and harmonically complex highs. The string separation is extraordinarily even for chord playing. The RE200 is known for it's versatility. Solid archtops, flat tops, and solid body electric guitars all sound amazing through this amp. At 200 Watts there is plenty of headroom for almost any application.
