Benedetto ® Pickups

The Signature Jazz Guitar Pickup.

 

The “S” and “B” Ebonova Series: Both “S” and “B” pickups are naturally-voiced. A good archtop guitar has balance, warmth and richness. These pickups mirror those same qualities and bring out the true acoustic essence of a fine guitar. The unique black-flamed Ebonova covers with the embedded Benedetto logo reflect the natural figuring of the guitar’s tone woods.

 

S-Series: These pickups were designed for the purist who plays a true acoustic archtop without a pickup routed in the guitar’s top. With the “S” installed, the guitar isn’t, strictly speaking, an electric guitar: it’s an amplified acoustic. (Designed for use with bronze strings.)

B-Series: This is basically a “built-in” version of the S-Series. It maintains the same natural acoustic qualities of the instrument. According to Bob Benedetto, this pickup is “the best sounding jazz pickup I’ve ever heard. There isn’t even a close second.”
