2005 Beardsell 4G - SJ, Jumbo Acoustic Guitar
Alan Beardsell walks his own path, thankfully for us that means he's creating instruments that are completely unique and exciting. But it's not just the asymmetrical shape that is new, there large side ports, armrests and radial back bracing as well. All of which help give Beardsell instruments the strongest projection we know of in a wood body, clarity, articulation and extreme comfort. This 4G is his larger body and has a big sound. Most of our Beardsell presell, we are happy to have a few to offer you for a change, but they won't last so don't delay.

Player Reviews:
"Beardsell guitars offer many exciting design ideas that are extremely practical and useful. The sound ports for instance are a joy for the player. The asymmetrical neck shape is so comfortable you wonder why all neck are not that way. The bracing creates but serious projection and clarity with a hint of an archtop quality. Among the most versatile guitars we sell, they easily morph from fingerstyle to single line and from jazz to blues to celtic to pop. We only wish we could get more to offer you." - Paul Heumiller
"This one is clear and full of midrange projection. A great guitar for ensemble playing in an acoustic setting." - Al Petteway
