In 2014 I introduced a small line of Benedetto brand amps made by Henriksen Amplifiers in Colorado. Henriksen is known worldwide for manufacturing top quality jazz guitar amps. Although the Benedetto amps were well received I found myself in a very competitive market and decided to discontinue the line in 2019.
This Carino 12 is the second amp made, Serial # BA1002. The selling price in 2014 was $1,399; I’m asking $750. Since 2014 it has been part of my personal collection, has never been on a gig and has never left my house. Except for a few faulty tolex seams on the back, the amp is in perfect condition. It sounds spectacular! For pickup only … no shipping.
