SP Luthier Notes: Our luthier completed an inspection of this instrument once it landed with us, and the guitar was deemed to all ready be in otherwise ideal playing and cosmetic condition, and no work was required.
The Bedell 1964 Dreadnought combines the powerful pairing of Adirondack spruce and Honduran mahogany, creating a mid-range powerhouse that can seamlessly integrate into any collection of acoustic instruments. Its wider fretboard is designed to facilitate fingerpicking and rapid-fire play, making it a versatile choice for various playing styles.
Constructed with the same meticulous care and craftsmanship as guitars from the golden era of instrument building, the Bedell 1964 Dreadnought features ethically sourced tonewoods, all-wood binding, and subtle appointments that reflect its classic design. The workshop-installed K&K Pure Mini pickups capture the authentic fullness of analog sound and the vibe of the era, all while preventing stage feedback.
The Adirondack spruce top is renowned for its strength, lightness, and extended harmonic content, nearly matching the power of Adirondack spruce. Paired with Honduran mahogany back and sides, this guitar delivers a balanced, resonant tone with a thick bottom end, rich midrange, and a warm, controlled top end.
Available in Natural and Burst finish options, the Bedell 1964 Dreadnought is a classic instrument made with the utmost attention to detail, offered at an accessible price point.
