Pre-Owned Gold Tone Paul Beard PBR Roundneck Resonator Tobacco Sunburst with OHSC

We just took in a wonderful resonator guitar that represents an excellent value - this Gold Tone Paul Beard PBS Roundneck model, which comes with a nice hardshell case.  It's in great shape and is a great deal.

Paul Beard is one of the best-known names in resonator building, and his signature series with Gold Tone puts a genuine USA-made Beard cone and spider into a mahogany roundeneck that is quite affordable.

The cone and spider are the parts that make a resonator sound the way it does, and these are made by the Beard Guitar Company in the USA. Gold Tone builds the body around Beard's open soundwell design and does final assembly and setup in Titusville, Florida. The result is that big, ringing bluegrass resonator sound, with less of the nasal honk you hear from cheaper single-cone guitars.  The body and neck are mahogany which keeps the tone warm and woody under all that cone shimmer. It has a 25" scale and 19 frets on a rosewood fretboard, and a 1.75" nut width.  You maple bridge with an ebony insert, and a Paul Beard 6-string tailpiece.

This gives you the sound of bluegrass and old-time country, and it works just as well for gospel, Hawaiian-style playing and slow, crying slide melodies.

This resonator is in excellent condition, and has been setup to play perfectly by the techs in our shop.  It comes with its original Gold Tone hardshell case.  This is a great find!
