Comments: "This is an ideal size for fingerstyle playing and has a clear, natural tone. I love the vintage look as well. " - Al Petteway

"Marc Beneteau builds a guitar of the highest quality and we've been fortunate to offer many over the years. I can tell everyone who's ever bought one has loved Marc's clear voice and power. This 000, with it's Adirondack Spruce top, has plenty of power and a clear, fundamental voice. The playability is superb, as on all Beneteaus, and the cutaway provides full access while allowing for the benefits of the 12 fret design. The bridge is in the sweet spot where it can most efficiently move the top. The sunburst is gorgeous and adds a vintage nod to an extremely well-built modern guitar from Marc Beneteau." - Paul Heumiller
