Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: This instrument has been carefully inspected and, if necessary, serviced by our certified luthier to ensure it is in excellent playing condition. 

The Gold Tone PBR-CA Paul Beard Signature Resonator is a beautifully crafted instrument that delivers rich, punchy tone with exceptional clarity and projection. Its solid mahogany construction provides warmth and depth, while the genuine Beard cone and spider assembly produce that unmistakable resonator snap and articulation. The ebony fingerboard and comfortable mahogany neck offer a smooth, controlled playing experience, whether you're fingerpicking or digging in with a slide. Finished in a high-gloss tobacco sunburst with curly maple binding, it carries a refined yet classic look. Clear, dynamic, and full of character, this PBR-CA brings a voice that cuts through with confidence and musicality!

From Other (Miscellanous Used/Vintage/Consign)

The cutaway version of our PBR has a handsome mahogany body and neck finished in a rich tobacco sunburst. It's equipped with the famed Paul Beard "open" soundwell, resonator cone and spider bridge. This combination produces the sweet wood-and-metal tone that's so ideal for country blues and fingerstyle solos.
