Benoit Weissenborn , No longer for sale.

Post by Ron Ackles »

Benoit weissenborn in beautiful condition , Very high quality instrument custom built by carroll benoit , one of the best. Koa wood with lots of purling inlay. This thing sounds great and is in very nice cond. , I got this in a trade for one of my custom B bender teles and it is not something i am going to have the time to learn. This was purchased from Jim Palenscar at steel guitars of north county for approx. $3500 , I am asking $2000 or best offer or might trade it for a nice pedal steel or some kind of american tele. it also has a like new TKL hard case which was not for a weis. but it fits very well.

Thanks Chris , It also sounds as good as it looks. I have admired Carroll Benoits dobros and guitars for some time but this is over the top.

A feast for the eyes, Ron. Wish there was a way to hear its voice.
