2008 Raffle Item: Beard Resonator Guitar

The Beard Resonator Guitar for Grey Fox 2008 is an R Model of solid ribbon mahogany, customized with a beautiful Mother- of- Pearl inlay on the fretboard and a special, custom-cut coverplate. Adding even more value to this year's model, Collings will be giving the guitar a glossy finish (the regular finish is matte). Pictured here is the basic model. As soon as the instrument has been built and customized, we'll update the photo. Rest assured, it'll be a beauty.

The Beard R Model has taken the most desirable features of the Vintage model guitar, including the open soundwell construction and combined them with exclusive improvements in materials, construction, finishes, appointments and technical innovations. This creates a traditional instrument that has a perfectly balanced, full-bodied sound. These vibrant instruments are made of select solid tone woods that yield a clean, sweet tone. They produce a clear, crisp treble, and a full, rich, warm bass, equally well suited for contemporary and traditional playing styles. Solid mahogany top, back and side construction. "Open" soundwell body design. R- body, 25" scale, ebony fretboard and peghead, slotted diamond inlay, curly maple binding on neck and body, chrome parts. Sunburst gloss finish.
