Its \"N\" serial prefix places it among the guitars built at the Fender Custom Shop's Nashville facility under Bob Benedetto's personal supervision between 2000 and 2002 — a short, sought-after chapter in Benedetto history under Bob's licensing arrangement with Fender, before he returned to building guitars under his own name in Savannah, Georgia. This example weighs a comfortable 8.4 lbs. and comes in Very Good condition, showing honest player wear consistent with its age — light scratching and finish swirl, a handful of small body dings, and some light tarnish on the gold hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe set-neck mahogany neck shares the same Benny 7 shape as the body and is capped with an ebony fretboard, black fretboard binding, and a single floral inlay at the 12th fret. A 12\" radius, 22 medium jumbo frets, a 25.5\" scale length, and a 1 3\/4\" Tusq nut add up to a full, comfortable feel suited equally to chord-melody work and long single-note runs. The stained flame maple headstock carries Benedetto's gold logo and is fitted with Gotoh tuners with ebony buttons, while a gold-finished Tune-O-Matic bridge and floating tailpiece deliver the intonation stability and woody sustain archtop players look for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe electronics center around a pair of Benedetto humbuckers — one at the neck, one at the bridge — wired to simple volume and tone controls with a 3-way selector for quick switching between them, from warm, round neck-pickup jazz tones to a brighter, more cutting bridge voice for comping and solos. This one currently wears flatwound strings, which suits the guitar's chambered, woody voice well. Whether you're a working jazz guitarist, a session player after a distinctive chambered archtop tone, or a collector after a Benedetto in honest, playable condition, this Walnut Benny 7 (Serial #N13100) includes its original Benedetto hardshell case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eQuestions about this guitar?
