Player Reviews:
"Paul Beard makes some of the finest high-end resonator guitars. This RF model is stunning with it's custom fret markers and Flamed Maple bindings. It's easy to play and I love the strong howling voice. It's very soulful and being a roundneck you can mix slide with fingerstyle for wonderful blues arrangements. " - Paul Heumiller
"I seriously considered buying this guitar. It's the perfect marriage of an incredibly nice guitar neck with a resonator body. It is so much fun to play and it sounds great. The volume of this guitar makes it possible to be heard in a jam session at one of the guitar camps without working at it. It's a great for slide playing too." - Al Petteway
