A sonic powerhouse in this pairing of resophonic royalty, the Beard Jerry Douglas signature has long occupied a special place in the Dobro world. Yes, it has THAT sound, in spades.

Why We Love This

When a leading light of the resonator world in Paul Beard gets together with the preeminent dobro virtuoso of our time, the results are sure to wow. So it goes for the The Jerry Douglas Blackbeard. Built on Beard's vaunted "E" body design, the JD Blackbeard is a powerful dobro that manages superior projection while retaining that uncanny warmth and soulful midrange that we have all come to associate with Douglas. For this build, we opted to add a Lollar silver foil, opening up a whole world of acoustic/electric tonal possibilities.

As to the sublime virtuosity, that part is up to you!
