Yeah I like various flavors...Willie Nelson & Family 4 part documentary was released in Dec 2023 on Paramount+. I just thought I kinda knew a good bit about Willie, this doc is a fascinating...
I have one of these and it has been my main guitar for the last 6 years. These are on par with the real thing (a late 50's ES-175) at about 1/3 the cost. This seems like a great deal for you guys in...

"You didn’t say if this was new or vintage." If it's a '66 as he posted it's not a reissue but checking the cable is a good idea, I thought he would have tried that.
I wasn't aware that Benedetto was made by Fender. I do know that in 2001 Fender bought Guild and moved everything out of Westerly to California. At that time, they had Bob Benedetto train builders...
