***Carroll Benoit has asked me to post this for him, as he and the Internet doesn't get along very well!***
Due to health problems, one of his customers has decided to part with three of Carroll's masterpieces. He has asked Carroll to help him with that task. I am posting this to possibly help facilitate the gentleman finding a good home for these great guitars. My only involvement is posting for him and giving Carroll's contact info. Any questions should be directed to Carroll. Besides having the photos, I understand the guitars are located in Colorado. Being a proud owner of a Benoit Resonator for several years, I can attest to his attention to detail and craftmanship!
***b0b: Carroll and the owner are aware of the Forum's policy for a donation if sold here.
Beautiful KOA sides & back, Quarterman cone, and black hardware - $3,500
Figured Walnut guitar, Quarterman cone, unique carved Walnut coverplate & soundscreens, black Gotoh tuning keys, with Abalone frets and headstock inlay - $3,000
Here's Carroll's version of the Weissenborn guitar, the Cajunborne - SOLD!
All Koa, Ebony fretboard with MOP inlay frets & Bethleham Star position markers. Ebony binding and rope style inlay. Ebony bridge with brass saddle and nut - $2,700

Prices have been added at the end of each instrument's description. Although not mentioned earlier, each includes a hardshell case. These guitars are in exceptional condition, and I understand they have not been played "out" since the gentleman took delivery. Carroll says the Cajunborne guitar is one of 10 that he built. Pricing is set below original cost. I have a full list of items used on each build if someone needs that info...PM me for details.

Hey Kenny......it's been a long time and I miss the good old Dallas days when we all hung out.....I'd like to buy The Cajunborne.....I always wanted one but didn't get around to having Carroll build one for me before he retired....I just spoke with him and he's going to call you.....
Those other guitars are beauties and anybody who is looking for some of the highest quality guitars with materials and appointments priced a fair amount below market value (I don't know if there even is a market value for these one of a kind custom builds) should give these serious consideration....... |

Hey Howard, good to hear from you! I miss the Dallas show and the Benoit booth too!
Glad you are getting the little hollow neck, I guess I can hold on to my money a little longer and maybe for something else! Those have a wonderful warm sound, and I would have liked to have owned one.
Enjoy!
