Beard DecoPhonic Model 37 Roundneck Spider Cone Dobro Resonator 2018 - Sunburst

This is a very good example of the Beard DecoPhonic Model 37 with a Fishman Jerry Douglas Signature Series pickup. It has a few nicks in it, the most apparent being the one on the lower side, but is in very good condition overall.

The action is at 2.5 mm at the 12th fret, which works well for a mix of fretted and slide playing. There is plenty of bridge height available to lower it if desired.

I especially like the necks on these Beard DecoPhonics, they remind me of some Gibsons I've played. This guitar has the ringing sustain you'd expect from a well set up Beard. The pickup sounds great and can be further enhanced with Fishman's Aura imaging pedal.

I never thought I'd sell this guitar, but my collection has gotten out of control and I'm making some tough decisions.

The OHSC shown is included.

I've added a video I made a while back comparing this guitar to a vintage dobro that I own. The Beard is featured in the second half of the video. The vintage dobro has a slotted cone, so it's not really an apples to apples comparison, but the contrast does show what the Beard offers.

I also suggest searching YT for the video titled "Tommy Emmanuel Plays his new Beard Deco Phonic™ Model 37 roundneck".

Q: What is the nut width?

A: The nut width is 1.75".
