Marc Beneteau is a famed Canadian luthier. He came up in a time when we were producing such guitar builders as Jean Larrivee, Linda Manzer, Grit Laskin, and Sergie DeJonge, to name a few.
I've had the pleasure of playing 3 different Beneteaus over the years and they were all fantastic. The pictures of the 1989 Beneteau Grand Auditorium do not do it justice as it is likely to be a stunner in real life. Sitka spruce top, mahogany back and sides.
I think I'm in love.
It's also looks to have some wear on it as well, and that makes me so happy. There is something to be said for mint condition instruments I guess, but it usually makes me sad to think that a quality guitar is getting treated more like a painting than the awesome instrument it is.
That is not the case here.
Currently listed at what I would call a very reasonable $2400.

- 1977 Burns Artist. The Very First One Made.
guitarz.blogspot.com: My heart is aflutter. Look at this wonderful Burns Artist from 1977. It has the serial number A1, which apparently means that it was the first one made for sale. Apparently Jim Burns thought the Artist had a "more conventional...
- Very Odd And Beautiful Custom Made Guitar By H.m. Philips - Blue Moon Guitars
guitarz.blogspot.com: I feel this will be a polarizing post. I think you will either love or hate this custom made guitar, according to the inside label it's called a Blue Moon, made by H.M Phillips. It is indeed very unique. A quick...
- Washburn Wt24v Telecaster Shaped Beauty From 1985
guitarz.blogspot.com: I have a weak spot for Telecasters but unlike a lot of Tele fans I love when other makers use the iconic shape for different guitars. This Washburn WT24V was only produced for a few years in the 1980s but is a great looking...
- Rickenbacker 4001 Clone Bass Made In Japan. Matsumoku? Ibanez? Greco? Snowman?
guitarz.blogspot.com: Here is a really nice example of a Rickenbacker clone just hanging out in the snow. I'm not sure if it's a testament to the Japanese build quality that it can endure the Canadian winter, or if the seller believes...
