I've just completed making 2 beautiful archtop jazz guitars, according to plans and instructions from Bob Benedetto, master archtop luthier. I think they turned out well: scroll down the top blog at�http://bobsarchtop.blogspot.com/ znd see for yourself.
I'm ill, and unlikely to make any more of these.
In the course of making these guitars, I have made literally dozens of specialized jigs for holding, carving, routing, clamping, securing, cutting sll the parts. Look through the blog and you;ll see them all. I spent about 30% of my time making these
jigs.
I'm offering these jigs at no cost to a person who wants to make a Benedetto jazz guitar - they will be a huge help.
The only provisos are that 1) You need to come here to pick them up, and 2) You need to spend about 1-2 hours letting me talk you through what they are. �I'm in Whately, MA in Western Massachusetts, just north of Northampton.
If you'd like to discuss, please call me at (413) 665-9579 or reply through this post.
Thanks,

Hi Bob,
I just came across your posting about the guitar jigs and not knowing if you have given these away,I thought I would contact you .I'm in the process of gathering the wood,organizing my shop for a build,( Benedetto),etc. If the jigs have gone to a "new"
home,then maybe the paper plans might be available !
Email me at

Thanks !
