Beneteau
Congrats Dustin! The guitar sounds and looks phenomenal. I chose a 25.75" scale for my Beneteau as well and an Englemann top for the same reasons you selected Alpine spruce. Now if I could only play as well as you.

Thanks for the kind words man...later down the line I think I may try Engelmann as I'm really enjoying the overtones and sparkle the Alpine is putting out, I have heard a few Engelmann-topped Beneteau demos and they have wonderful-sounding overtones as well...I can't even imagine how good yours sounds with the Brazilian! My model M has a Carpathian top which has a little bit of overtones but a bit more "direct" and fundamental sounding when played fingerstyle. The overtones have a "dark" sound from the ebony but it's super punchy and clear on the top end when you take a pick to it. I've also considered doing a Fanfret down the line but really, this 25.75 scale feels like its pretty versatile on its own... and also wasn't an upcharge. Anyways, hope you're well brother man!

GOOOAL!
Just lovely, man. It already sounds killer, and I look forward to hearing it develop and listening to what it inspires from you. My only issue is you've set quite a high bar for Beneteau demo vids round these parts |

Words were failing me but you nailed it.
He has always been one of the greats in my mind but every so often he still seems to be able to up it a notch. |

There’s much less fuss involved, I just have to have a business card around to place by the bridge so the ball won’t snap onto the finish and make dents Thanks brotherman!!

Pinless Bridge
My two Baraniks and Beneteau have pinless bridges, which I prefer. Marc made me a string changing template as well (sits behind the bridge), but I use two layers of the blue 3M painters tape instead. I always clean my guitars during and after string changes and have never noticed any tape adhesive residue behind the bridge.

Dustin,
Check the storage compartment in your case first. I didn't ask Marc for the cardboard bridge template. It was just in the case when I received the guitar. John |

I love pinless bridges, and Marc's design is one of my favorites.
I also love the outline of the top on this model with the Ryan bevel. Somehow it makes the design look a bit more elegant or something. How's the quality of the case, by the way? Is it just one of those standard TKL type cases? Beneteau SJ crew represent |
