Beard Vintage R Square Neck

Founded by Paul Beard in Maryland, Beard Guitars has been a cornerstone of resonator guitar innovation since 1980. The company is celebrated for its high-quality instruments that blend traditional design with modern advancements, serving both bluegrass and lap steel players.

This approx. mid-2000s Vintage R pays homage to the classic resonator guitars of the 1930s while incorporating Beard’s proprietary improvements to ensure unmatched tone, projection, and playability.

The square neck design of the Vintage R is ideal for slide playing, favored by legends like Jerry Douglas, Mike Auldridge, and Josh Graves. This style of resonator guitar is integral to bluegrass and Hawaiian music, offering a rich, full-bodied sound that is both articulate and powerful.

This lovely Beard Vintage R is in great condition and comes with its original deluxe hardshell case.
