Saw this listing in Ottawa. If it wasn't 1500 miles from me I would sure check it out!

Cool, I'd be interested if I had the coin. Price looks good too, without playing it of course.

I'd like to get my hands on this one as well. Marc had already been making guitars for 20 years by 1994, so while this doesn't have the refinement of his more recent guitars it would certainly be worth checking out in this price range. The earliest example I've owned was from 2000 and it had excellent build quality and tone. It kind of looks like there is a crack between the E and A strings but hard to say for sure with the low res pics.

This ‘94 represents a great period in his history, all the tone but more conservative (less bling) design than later. My earliest was a ‘79 but it sounded very close to my ‘95 so I let it go to a deserving student. I’ve not played a Beneteau I didn’t like, to the point where I‘d probably buy another without playing it first.
