L BENITO GUITARS

Luthier Lito Benito builds a wide range of quality acoustic guitars in his Chile factory. Benito worked at Taylor Guitars where he eventually became the head of final assembly. In 1997, he moved to Mexico, and Taylor set him up to build guitars. In 2001, he moved to Chile and worked on building the infrastructure to make guitars in such an undeveloped nation. Benito uses a unique wood in his guitars call Alerce - a 3,000 year old tonewood. For more information, contact Benito directly.
