(Used) 2022 Gold Tone PBS-D Paul Beard Deluxe Solid Mahogany Square-Neck Resonator Guitar #8165

Engineered to deliver professional-grade acoustic projection and modern mechanical reliability, this 2022 Gold Tone PBS-D Paul Beard Deluxe signature square-neck resonator guitar is an absolute powerhouse for serious dobro players. In Excellent Condition, with only a few light scratches, it's definitely won't be on our website long! Born from a celebrated collaboration between Gold Tone and legendary resonator builder Paul Beard, this deluxe model brings world-class, hand-voiced acoustic design to an upscale presentation. Built specifically for lap-style slide playing with premium materials, this exceptional instrument delivers an organic, high-velocity acoustic presence that holds its own in any high-energy bluegrass jam or studio session.

The core acoustic identity of this premium square-neck relies on an authentic, hand-voiced Paul Beard cone and a traditional spider bridge design assembly spinning inside a carved body chamber. This specialized mechanical system produces a remarkably clear, vocal-like midrange bark, a punchy, fundamental low-end response, and a sparkling high-end bite with massive acoustic headroom. Because the internal soundwell is meticulously optimized to Paul Beard's exact workshop specifications, the guitar projects with immense volume and clean note separation, allowing fast bar-slides and aggressive fingerpicking patterns to cut through the mix with absolute precision.

The robust square-neck profile provides maximum structural rigidity to withstand high-tension lap-style setups, topped with a bound ebony fingerboard dressed in striking, deluxe heart-and-flower mother-of-pearl inlays. Visually, the resonator displays a stunning, high-gloss mirror finish over its rich mahogany grain, elegantly accented by standard soundhole screens, a fan-style cover plate, and high-quality sealed chrome tuners. Fully checked over, stable, and dialed in for optimal string spacing and slide action by our shop team, this Paul Beard Deluxe stands completely optimized for its next musical journey.
