The Beard R Model Squareneck resophonic guitar is built in the USA to evoke the classic single cone resonator guitars of the 1930s. Paul Beard builds many of the best resophonic guitars available, and works closely with top artists like Jerry Douglas and Mike Auldridge.
R-Model
This Beard R Model Squareneck was built during 2013 at the Beard shop in scenic Hagerstown, Maryland, is in very good condition and has the Fishman Nashville ‘Jerry Douglas’ pickup installed. This one is ready to go, onstage or on tour! This model features solid Mahogany for the neck and open-soundwell body, and the binding is Curly Maple. The fingerboard is Ebony, with Mother of Pearl for the position markers; the bridge is Maple with an Ebony cap and that covers the woods used.

The Beard R Model custom is based on the classic resophonic guitars of the 1930’s. It uses an open soundwell design on a tighter-waisted body (compared to the dreadnought-based Beard E model) and the flame maple version features outstanding wood sets. The R Models feature Paul Beard’s triple spun Legend cone and an Original #14 spider.

The tuned oval soundhole and jumbo body shape give it significantly more bottom end and fullness than resonators usually have. The Beard ‘Solar’ coverplate is really attractive. This is an excellent instrument with a unique look.
