"I have worked hard at making the highest quality instruments that take advantage of new technologies and techniques while honoring the tradition of the Dopyera family."
~ Paul Beard
Ever since the first Beard resonator was delivered to a customer in 1985, Paul Beard and his small team have worked hard at making the highest quality instruments that take advantage of new technologies and techniques, while honoring the tradition of the Dopyera family.
Innovation & Leadership
For decades, Paul Beard has been at the forefront of resonator guitar design, refining cone construction, body shapes, and bracing to deliver unmatched projection, sustain, and tonal balance - setting the industry standard for bluegrass and slide players alike.
Player-Centered Design
Whether it’s the powerful open-body E Model, the modern ergonomics of the Odyssey, or custom features tailored for top artists, Beard guitars are built with the player’s needs front and center - delivering comfort, responsiveness, and inspiring tone for any style.
Handcrafted in the USA
Every Beard guitar is built in Hagerstown, Maryland, by a small team of skilled luthiers. From wood selection to final setup, each step is performed with care, ensuring consistency, quality, and an unmistakable “Beard” voice in every instrument.
