Bedell Bedell Limited Edition Dreadnought Cutaway Adirondack/Brazilian Rosewood
Presenting the Bedell Limited Edition Dreadnought Cutaway with Adirondack Spruce top and Brazilian Rosewood back and sides. From Bedell about this model: "The holy grail of bluegrass guitar is the classic combination of the cutting power of Adirondack spruce over the rich, rumbling bass resonance of Brazilian rosewood. Nothing else makes quite that sound. Now imagine all that vintage vibe with modern playability and the cutaway ease of reaching every fret. Just as bluegrass has evolved by breaking down the barriers between country and jazz, this limited edition guitar nods to tradition without heeling to it. Bedell has one of the largest collections of legal, certified Brazilian rosewood in the world. The most visually captivating sets are hand-selected for this series, and each instrument housed in a Bedell Custom Ameritage case, is as unique as a fingerprint. Let it be your fingerprint." Adirondack Spruce delivers volume and clarity without distortion even with heavy picking. Adirondack is relatively heavy, with a high velocity of sound, and has the highest stiffness of all top woods across and along the grain. An endangered and carefully protected species, Brazilian rosewood (Dalbergia nigra) is the most precious of tonewoods. Simply called “rio” by Brazilians, it is highly regarded among luthiers and collectors for its magical tonal character and deep, rich beauty – and it is vigorously regulated; it is protected with the same level of regulation as ivory. Brazilian rosewood produces a loud, warm, rich tone, with full deep bases, brilliant trebles, delivering excellent sustain and clarity. Its appearance varies from brick red and burnt orange to shades of dark brown to violet color with black spidery streaks. Photos are of the actual guitar for sale, SN 124007.
