If you're after an inspiring, collectible-grade hybrid that delivers the goods in the studio or on stage, this upgraded Road-O-Phonic might just be your next signature sound.

The Beard Road-O-Phonic is a tone chaser’s dream, blending the acoustic depth of a resonator with the punch and clarity of a lap steel, all in a sleek, stage-ready package. Made from solid wood (poplar) and loaded with a sophisticated three-pickup system, it’s built for players who demand both nuance and versatility.

What sets this Road-O-Phonic apart? A newly upgraded HipShot bridge system - a thoughtful and powerful addition that allows you to flip between two tunings instantly. Whether you're switching from open G to D mid-set or dialing in a custom setup for a unique arrangement, the HipShot bridge makes it seamless, precise, and repeatable. No retuning hassle. Just flip the lever and play.

This model’s tri-pickup configuration includes:

A Fishman Nashville bridge pickup powered by an onboard preamp for pure, articulate resonator tone

Two Lollar electrics—a Gold Foil and a P-90—for creamy, expressive electric character

You can play in mono or split to stereo, but the magic really shines when you start blending: electric and acoustic, Gold Foil shimmer with resonator bark, or the midrange growl of the P-90 with the Fishman’s sparkle. The combinations are endless, and frankly, addictive.

Whether you're aiming for an amplified dobro tone that cuts through a mix, a modern lap steel setup drenched in reverb, or something entirely new, the Road-O-Phonic is your creative playground. Clean, it’s sweet and woody. Run it through your pedalboard? It’s a sonic chameleon.
