Beard Guitars have expanded their DecoPhonic line to include traditional flattops inspired by classic catalog instruments of the Depression era.

Why We Love This

The DecoPhonic guitars are a revelation in terms of tone and playability, offering power, depth and a dry, woody sound alongside modern setups and feel.

Aesthetically, Deco Guitars are a shameless love letter to a time gone by. Their classic colors and familiar details strike a natural chord while the refined body shapes add a subtle yet fresh stylistic perspective.

The Sidecar is the flagship model of the Deco line. The classic and compact Beard “R” body shape is comfortable and appealing. A solid spruce top featuring mahogany Aero-X bracing provides a rich, balanced sound with a slightly pronounced midrange response. The Sidecar is especially suited for fingerstyle and blues. The mahogany 14 fret neck has a subtle V-shape to provide plenty of comfort and access.
