Pickard Acoustics:
Handbuilt Guitars and other Musical Instruments.
Welcome to the Pickard Acoustics Website.
Pickard Acoustics offers a range of handbuilt steel-strung guitars, and mandolin family instruments, all featuring a unique bracing system which produces a bright tone and even response. Each instrument is built using solid wood construction and employing a variety of tone-woods and spruce tops.
Six-string guitars are available in three basic sizes (small, medium and large) and three different body shapes or series. Coupled with the choice of 12 or 14 frets to the body this gives a range of 24 different six-string guitars plus 6 twelve-string guitars!
Mandolins are available in two different body shapes or series.
Any instrument can be customised to your own specifications in terms of inlays, decorative bindings and purflings.
All instruments are steel-strung, 'flat-top', 'flat-back' and constructed from selected, solid tonewoods. Mahogany is usually used for the neck, blocks and kerfing while strutting, bracing and tops are spruce. All tops feature a bracing system unique to Pickard Acoustics. Fingerboard and bridge are either ebony or rosewood and back and sides are usually mahogany or rosewood. A variety of other woods is available especially for the back and sides. The nut and saddle are bone and the bindings are wood. Mother-of-pearl is the usual inlay material. A fully adjustable truss rod is installed in each instrument as are quality machine heads. The finish is lacquer and is applied and polished by hand.

Benedetto guitars inspire players — of all levels — to be their best. For those who appreciate the refinement of a living, breathing handmade guitar, nothing less than a Benedetto will do. Elegant in form and voice, it is truly"The Signature of Jazz Guitar".
Each instrument is handmade by a small group of select luthiers, personally trained by Bob Benedetto. The team is dedicated exclusively to building Benedetto guitars in the Benedetto section of the Fender factory in Corona, California. Bob works hands-on with his team one week of every month to ensure consistency, and inspects every instrument before it is shipped. We are all very proud of these completely American handmade guitars.
In addition to the Benedetto brand, Bob's team is also responsible for Guild's elite Johnny Smith Award and Stuart models, made with the same care and ongoing pursuit of excellence as the Benedetto brand ...
