| Comments | The Beard R Model Flame Maple Squareneck is a custom order version of the Beard R model, and based on the classic resophonic guitars of the 1930’s.The R Model uses an open soundwell design on a tighter-waisted body (compared to the dreadnought-based Beard E model) and the flame maple version features outstanding wood sets. The R Model is a traditionally- based instrument with modern improvements that delivers a perfectly balanced, full-bodied sound and the wood selection yields a clean, sweet tone. With clear, crisp treble, and a full, rich, warm bass, these instruments are equally well suited for contemporary and traditional playing styles.
