Bob Benedetto established himself as the Supreme builder of archtop guitars in 1979 with this stunning creation (inventory number AR3426). The Supreme was Bob's top model, and he made only 8 of these 18 1/4"-wide beauties.If you've been keeping up with guitar news, you know that you can't just call Bob and order a Supreme -- or any other Benedetto guitar. In his new consulting position with Fender/Guild, he has stopped making Benedettos. But you can own this example of archtop lutherie at its finest for $18,500.
