The Deco Phonic Model 47 Squareneck left-handed resonator guitar features a handspun 9.5" biscuit-style cone and all-Finnish birch veneer tone supported by the quality build of trusted luthier Paul Beard. The line offers players of all ages, including lapsteel, bluegrass, blues or Americana artists looking for value and flexibility a high-end instrument with punchy, full-range sound with great projection.

This Deco Phonic 47 Squareneck left-handed resonator comes with a hardshell case.

"The word 'Deco' conjures images of a time when design was at its peak. A period in architectural history unmatched by any other that put forth such remarkable images as the Empire State Building, Chrysler Building or the Hollywood Bowl - astonishing icons that still bring marvel and integrity. The resonator guitar was born during this time and echoed art deco elements. Paul Beard's newest line of resonator guitars honors that tradition in appearance and tonal quality. Beneath the historic exterior lie Paul's own structural advances. By representing the original sound with the advantage of stability, it's only right that these guitars should bear the name 'Deco'." - Grammy Award-winner Jerry Douglas
