BEARD JERRY DOUGLAS LIMITED EDITION WITH CASE & AURA PEDAL
20 Photos
Master luthier Paul Beard and resonator guitar virtuoso Jerry Douglas have collaborated on the design of this great new guitar. Production is limited to 50 instruments, each numbered. The body is a modified Beard E-style of all solid quilted Sapele mahogany, with open body chamber and baffle, all powered by a spider bridge & Beard spun cone, for that now classic open-body resonator guitar sound. Other features include square profile mahogany neck, flame maple bindings, custom design coverplate, dual screened soundholes, ebony fretboard with custom inlay pattern & "Jerry Douglas" signature inlay, Waverly open-gear tuners, chrome plated hardware, custom Douglas crest peghead inlay and deluxe custom archtop-archback hardshell case. The collaboration does not end there. Enter acoustic instrument pickup master Larry Fishman. Working with Beard he has designed a completely new spider bridge pickup which incorporates special elements directly onto the two capped hard maple saddle pieces. Beard has modified the spider to allow for easy installation and adjustment of the saddle inserts. Then Fishman worked with Jerry Douglas to develop the new Fishman Jerry Douglas Aura resonator guitar pedal, which yields a sound more typical of a microphone, without the feedback issue of a microphone. Pickup and Aura pedal are included in this package.

NATIONAL STYLE 1 POWDER-COAT & CASE
Photo
We have these custom made at our request. They have all the marvelous harmonic structure of a brass body tricone wrapped in a wonderful powder coat wrinkle baked painted finish, which boosts the low response of the guitar. Other features include a 12-fret neck with grained ivoroid bound ebony fingerboard and dot inlay, slotted headstock with shield logo, the essential triple 6" swirl-embossed resonator cones, cast T-bar bridge with hard maple saddle insert and nickel plated tailpiece. Includes a shaped wooden hardshell case and available in a variety of colors. Nothing rivals a tricone resonator guitar, and this variant is a great addition to the realm.
