Beardsell guitars are completely unique and offer a wonderous tonal palette. Though the soundhole is Macafferi inspired, the guitar is all flattop. But Allan employs radial back bracing, doubled sides and achieve an very strong projection and clarity. There are two side soundports that insure the player and the audience both get a great tone. This guitar is well played in and very vibrant and alive. As a dealer we only get 1-2 new instruments each year an preowned ones are very hard to find.

"We originally sold this guitar new to a local customer who writes radio Ads. He played it a lot and as Al mentioned, it's made this one very alive and responsive. The condition is great as is the feel. Beardsell necks are among my favorites, they have slightly more meat on the treble side so they fit your hand naturally, see the pic below. Don't miss this chance at a rare preowned Beardsell." - Paul Heumiller
"This is one the very best sounding Beardsells I've played, I think it's because it's "opened up" after lots of loving use." - Al Petteway
