Sound
|
Very loud projection, beautiful tone. Mic it with a Kel condenser, and it sounds like a very expensive aqll wood model. Rich sound. |

Setup
|
Well set up by Beard, and the previous owner kept it in good shape. Nothing to compare action to, but seems good. |

Appearance
|
Maple "coffee" appearance. Very nice looking body. Hard to believe it is not solid wood. Has the MOP inlays |

Reliability
|
Solid materials, the Beard cone. The only thing I can say that is not perfect is that the gloss sometimes gets a cloudy appearance where my fingers are. But easily shined up with some guitar polish. |

Components

The cone and the appearance are top drawer. The tuners are probably ok, though we don't have a lot of mileage yet. Will see. |

Could not be happier with this purchase. Although new to reso, I know guitars and this is a solid instrument, especially for the price. |
