Bedell 1964 Parlor Special Edition

Introducing the Bedell 1964 Parlor, a guitar that pays homage to the golden era of instrument building while offering a timeless sound that captures the spirit of classic music. This exquisite instrument is meticulously constructed with a combination of Sitka spruce and Honduran mahogany, just like the guitars crafted half a century ago. The Sitka spruce soundboards used in this guitar are sourced from fallen trees in Alaska, ensuring sustainability and environmental responsibility. Sitka spruce is renowned for its strength, lightness, and ability to produce extended harmonic content, rivaling the power of Adirondack spruce. Additionally, the 1964 Parlor's Honduran mahogany back and sides contribute to its balanced, resonant tone, offering a thick bottom end, rich midrange, and a controlled, warm top end. As with all Bedell 1964 guitars, no forests were clear-cut in the making of this instrument.
