Description
Roger Benedict, namesake and co-founder of the Benedict Guitar Company, studied guitar at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. Roger began making guitars in Elizabethtown, NY in 1974, and moved to Minneapolis in 1981 to build guitars for a local manufacturer. Roger was also a luthier instructor at Red Wing (MN) Technical College.

In early 1988, Roger designed and built an electric guitar that featured a semi-hollow spruce body and state-of-the-art electronics. Later that year, he built a version for Jackson Browne, who named the guitar "the Groove Master" in tribute to its unique sound and playability. Roger and his wife Laurel formed the Benedict Guitar Company and began marketing the Groove Master in limited custom editions, adding a semi-hollow bass and the solid-body electric Benelectro to the product line.
