Old-school resonator tones in a superbly built, modern design from this leading light of resophonic guitar.

Paul Beard & Co. continue to make some of best resophonic guitars on the planet. Within their lineup, the Legacy R occupies an interesting position, as one of the more traditional sounding guitars from a maker revered known for his modern innovations. The Legacy R strikes a great balance, with big, forward midrange power, a sense of warm fullness, and classic, rich highs. For many, this is the perfect resophonic sound: great for cutting through the mix, while still sounding wonderful in solo and more sparse acoustic settings.
