Exc condition. Mahogany veneer over Birch Ply construction. Some flaking of lacquer right at neck joint at heel. Not much player wear. Plays and sounds great.

     Exc(+) condition. There is one miniscule ding on the top, and one knick on the side. Aside from those two small marks, the guitar is in new condition.
     Birch body with "red sunset" finish. "Lotus" cover plate. Square neck with 25" scale. Ebony fretboard with Mother of Pearl "Hearts and Flowers" inlays. The entire body of the guitar including the neck and peghead are triple bound with Maple. Ebony peghead veneer with Hearts inlay and "Mike Auldridge" signature. Gotoh tuners.
     This is an exceptional sounding resophonic. Excellent depth, clarity and punch. It's got big resonant bass and pristine highs. Each of the MA-6's are played and signed by Mike Auldridge before leaving the shop. This is a really great instrument that anyone would be lucky to own.

     New. Full body Model E, with highly figured Maple back, sides, neck, top and peghead overlay. Sunburst finish. Fully bound body and neck.
     These guitars have a very full and commanding sound.
     * This particular guitar is enroute to us from Beard at this time, and will be arriving in time for us to show it at our booth in Bellevue, WA, at the "WinterGrass" festival 'House of Fine Instruments' store booth February 24th, 25th, 26th and 27th.
     Phone direct to our booth to hear more about it - Cell 406/531-0532.

     Exc(+) condition. All solid Maple construction. Three very minor dings on top of the body above bass side screen hole near the fretboard. These are hard to spot at first - please see photos. Otherwise this instrument is in new condition. No evidence of hand wear on coverplate.
     Exceptionally figured Maple top, back, sides, neck and peghead overlay. Ebony fingerboard with tasteful pearl inlays. Fully multiple-bound top, back, fingerboard and headstock, with flamed Maple outer bindings. Pre-war style open-back Nickel Waverly tuners. Nickel coverplate, screens and tailpiece. Nickel strap lock installed by Beard for the endpin.
     These Model E's have been a mainstay "flagship" guitar from Beard for almost 10 years. They are known for having a big professional sound, with the solid Maple adding distinct wood flavor to the great sound.

     Excellent condition. Custom guitar. No problems. No dings or dents. Only slight signs of playing on the tradtitional fan coverplate.
     Model R built with traditional birch ply construction, like the Mike Auldridge model is made of. Custom red sunburst finish.
     Flamed Maple bindings around top and back of body and along fingerboard. Ebony fingerboard with cut diamond pearl inlays. Beard logo inlaid in pearl in peghead.
     The sound from the birch body is vary fast and clear with lots of power and good depth. It is set-up very well.

     New. This is the newest addition to Beard's repertoire of professional reso guitars. While it still fits in with the other Beard models quite well, it does exhibit some interesting new design concepts, both visually and tonally. All Solid Wood construction, like most Beard Model E guitars, but this one has beautiful Mahogany back, sides and neck and an extremely nice solid Spruce top.
     Multiple wooden bindings throughout, with Flamed Maple outer bindings, on top and back edge, along fingerboard and around headstock. Stylized cut diamond pattern pearl inlays in Ebony fingerboard. Waverly pre-war style tuners. Custom-made "Solar" coverplate. Single oval soundhole in center of top at end of fingerboard.
     Everything is 'tip-top' about this guitar. The colors are very tasteful. The Red-Brown of the Mahogany is perfectly mated to the slightly antique'd blonde Spruce top. As a bonus, you can look into the soundhole to get a look at the great construction of the sound baffling.
     In short, this is a truly great reso guitar for looks, for construction, for feel, and for tone. It sounds very big and full just as it is, acoustically, but it is set-up up by Paul Beard with a Fishman pro sadle pickup, which is a great pickup for use with the Fishman Aura Imaging system.
     * Also available to order with other wood combinations (All flamed Maple, All Mahogany, Walnut-Spruce, etc).

     Exc.(+) Condition.
     Birch ply with beautiful quilt venner Mahogany back and sides. Nice oxblood finish. Open sound-well construction with traditional fan cover plate. Ebony fingerboard with dot position markers. Ebony peghead overlay with Beard logo inlaid in pearl. Top and back bound with Ivoroid. Locking Schaller tuners.
     Great, big sound with depth and power.

     VG(+) condition. Tuners replaced with Grover Deluxe. Some binding repaired on neck. Guitar has scratches and dings on body, and some localized wear on back of neck at 2nd fret area. Original tailpiece. Poinsetta cover plate. Original stamped cone with 'inside' wall lugs for spider bridge and original short-legged spider bridge. 
     Nice sunburst Mahogany body and neck, with blonde Spruce top. Ebony fingerboard with pearl dot inlays. Sunburst Mahogany peghead overlay. Bound top and back of body, fingerboard and heelcap. Top has multiple wood purfling inside binding layer. 
     Model 45's are fairly rare. We've seen droves of Model 27's compared to only a few Model 45's. This one has been set-up to play nicely as a round neck guitar.
     If you are interested in this instrument, please call us. Even though many people would love this guitar with the original stamped cone and spider, other owner/players would rather play it with a "hot" modern spun cone and spider bridge. The sound of the original stamped cone is always sweet and expressive (if its in good shape like this one is), while a new spun cone and longer-legged spider bridge would bring out more power and 'bite' and projection. One of the best sounding Dobros I can remember was an old 1934 Model 45 that we had converted to modern cone and spider.

Case is in need of repair... The latches work but hinges are no longer attached.

      VG+ condition. All original except newer spun cone and spider. Candy Apple Red finish with Tortoise bindings around body. Small chips in red finish here and there. Original Dobro pickup.
     Guitar currently set-up for lap playing, with a spun Quarterman Cone and high-grade Spider bridge professionally installed about 18 years ago. Some slight separation of sides to top and/or back. Slight cracks in side of body near neck heel.
     Made by Semi Mosely's "Mosrite" company, these models were slightly 're-designed' here and there from earlier Dobros.

     Excellent enhanced condition.
     This resophonic squareneck guitar was bought by E.G. Smith, who promptly customized and upgraded the guitar. E.G. Smith is well known by many as the designer of the popular EG Smith stainless steel dobro bar. E.G. cut and inlaid a custom pearl pattern in the peghead and fingerboard, and also upgraded the cone, spider, nut and saddle.
     Squareneck. Sunburst finish. Sapelle back, sides and neck, with Spruce top. Top and back of body and fingerboard are bound with cream binding. Traditional "Fan" coverplate. Two round soundholes with metal screen inserts, three smaller holes between the screens.
     For the price, it would be hard to beat this resophonic guitar. It has very good strong tone.

     Excellent condition. Round neck. Taupe color over steel body. Single spun cone with biscuit bridge.
     Mahogany neck with bound Rosewood fingerboard. Slotted headstock.
     The sound is very good.
 

     Exc(-) condition. Guitar is in great playing condition. Fret wear is minimal. Body shows some light chips in finish and some small light marks here and there, mostly on the back and sides. National logo decal on peghead is chipped.
     Thin semi-hollow body electric, with P-90 p/u in neck position and Highlander p/u in biscuit. Mahogany body with figured Maple top and Maple neck. The guitar has pretty good sound, acoustically, but when plugged in it sounds great. 3-way pickup selector switch, separate volume controls and master volume control. 3-on-a-plate Kluson copy tuners by Grover. Nickel coverplate and tailpiece. Ivoroid multiple layer pickguard. Ivoroid backplate, truss-rod cover, and top binding. Ivoroid dot inlays in radiused Rosewood fingerboard.

     Nickel plated brass body with cutaway. "Tricone" style lattice soundholes in upper bouts. Retro coverplate. Single cone with "biscuit" bridge (in Canada, it's called the "cookie"). Rosewood fingerboard with diamond inlays and ivoroid binding. Maple neck with nice sunburst matte finish. Engraved pearloid peghead overlay. Three-on-a-plate tuners with cream buttons.
     Lots of concentrated sound, with that great "ponk" attack. No problems, plays great.

     Exc condition. There is some oxidation of the nickel plating, but not bad. No dents or dings.
     Nickel plated brass body with three cones under triangular coverplate, bridged with an aluminum "T" bridge. *The benefits of the tricone sound is that they give off more lyrical overtones than a single cone National does. Ebony radiused fingerboard with ivoroid dot inlays. Mahogany neck with ivoroid binding along fingerboard. Slotted peghead. National logo shield attached at top of peghead.
     This one is in nice original condition and is set-up well and plays great.

Beautiful showy figured solid Maple throughout. Powerful tone that rivals the best of what we offer on this page. Crisp attack, balance, volume, tone, and sustain.

     "As New" condition. No player wear, no marks, no dings. Solid Birch construction with hollow neck. This design is faithful to the original Weissenborn guitars, but when you examine the RayCo you can tell right away the construction methods are quite a bit more exact and much "cleaner" than those earlier originals.
     This guitar was owned by a very dynamic local player, Dan Dubuque, who has lots of You Tube postings of his playing and is in high demand for gigs all over our region. He kept this one as a "spare", while using his earlier RayCo Hawaiian for punishing road gigs. This guitar has never been to a gig and was kept pristine by Dan. 
     Solid Birch top, back and sides. Lots of interesting figure in the grain lines of the Birch. Highly figured bird's-eye trimmings - peghead overlay, fingerboard and bridge. Rayco logo inlaid in peghead. Unbound top and back. Waverly tuners.
     This guitar works well in several tunings. Currently tuned to open G. The tone is rich and deep and the whole instrument resonates with vibration when played.
