Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
SP Luthier Notes: A majority of frets showed evidence of play wear. As such, the frets were leveled, recrowned, and polished back to a near mint state. The guitar required an adjustment to the truss rod, nut, and bridge to be brought to a perfect level of playability. A number of frets had become raised above the fingerboard and partially out of their fret slots which necessitated gluing and reseating said frets into the fingerboard. No further work was required.

Re-introducing the Deluxe Bedford. Reimagined from its former configuration, the Deluxe Bedford offers premium componentry and a no-frills electronics configuration that guarantees inspirational tone. Now equipped with two Seymour Duncan USA Stacked P90s, the Bedford offers snappy mid-highs and rich, clear lows—all without the pesky 60-cycle hum that often turns players away from P90s. Constructed with an alder body, three piece maple and walnut neck, and ebony fingerboard, the Deluxe Bedford is well-balanced and guarantees remarkable sustain. Also features a Wilkinson six-point tremolo system.
