Marc Beneteau Guitars, 2003 Beneteau Concert Standard: Here we have a custom Concert Standard from Marc Beneteau, a wonderful Canadian Luthier known for his clear, pure voice.

  • Comments: "Marc's guitars are always clear and articulte. The Mahogany on this one is stunning." - Al Petteway

    "Beneteau guitars have stood the test of time. Marc's been making guitars for years now and has a steady 2 year waiting list. We only 1 or 2 new guitars per year from Marc and we're always delighted to see a preowned one. This one is so pretty in Marc's understated way. He always lets the wood shine through both to the eye and ear. The voice here is uncluttered, pure, crisp and powerful. The combination of Mahogany and Adirondack give it strong projection and the ability to flatpick as well as fingerpick and strum. This is one very versatile Beneteau. Marc's prices have gone up recently so his preowned guitars are a good value right now." - Paul Heumiller
