(Used) 2011 Beard Vintage R Squareneck Resonator w/ Pickup #2209

Handcrafted in Maryland by renowned luthier Paul Beard, this 2011 Vintage R squareneck resonator pairs classic open-body design with modern stage capability. It is in Excellent Condition, it has a chip out of the bottom right lower bout on the corner, and a few scratches on the top right shoulder on the back. Built with a solid mahogany body under a rich sunburst finish, it delivers a warm, punchy, and woody voice with exceptional sustain. The unique matte black resonator hardware and matching dark Gotoh tuners give this piece a distinct, understated aesthetic that sets it apart from standard chrome-clad models.

Equipped with an installed internal pickup running directly to an endpin jack, this instrument is fully prepared for plug-and-play live performance. The legendary Paul Beard spider bridge and cone assembly yield immediate response and dynamic headroom across all frequencies. Whether digging in for heavy bluegrass slide drives or delicate lap-style fills, the acoustic resonance carries effortlessly through any mix.

The full-profile mahogany squareneck provides exceptional stability and proper lap-style geometry for slide players. It features a wide 1-7/8" bone nut, a 25" scale length, and smooth-operating dark Gotoh tuning machines for rock-solid stability. Fully bench-inspected and ready for the stage, this rare consignment resonator offers incredible handmade boutique quality and tone.
