Gold Tone PBS-M/L Mastertone Paul Beard Squareneck Solid-Mahogany Left-Handed Resonator Guitar Tobacco Sunburst
Description
The Gold Tone PBS-M/L Mastertone Paul Beard squareneck resonator guitar gives left handed players a chance to experience the warm, woody tones of an all-mahogany instrument. Handcrafted in the USA, this resonator guitar features a solid mahogany top, body and neck for balanced warmth and projection. The famed Paul Beard "open" soundwell, resonator cone and maple bridge provide the signature resonator tone in a comfortable left-handed model.
All-Mahogany Construction Delivers Warmth
With its solid mahogany body and neck, the PBS-M/L resonates with woody depth and richness. Mahogany's tight grain provides ideal density for acoustic resonance, allowing this guitar to sing sustainably. Together, the all-solid mahogany construction gives this resonator guitar a vintage warmth and earthy tonality sought after by bluegrass and roots musicians.
Legendary Resonator Components Shape Your Tone
At the heart of the PBS-M/L are Paul Beard's famous "open" soundwell, hand-spun aluminum resonator cone and adjustable maple bridge. These specialized components are responsible for the unmistakable resonator sound. The open soundwell allows tones to develop before projecting outward. The resonator cone amplifies and brightens the tone. And the bridge, with its maple base and ebony insert, transfers string vibrations to the cone while allowing height and spacing adjustments for perfect intonation.
Authentic Squareneck Resonator Tone
At the heart of the PBS-M/L's tone is the genuine Paul Beard spider bridge and hand-spun resonator cone. These premium components are made in the U.S. to traditional specifications for authentic resonator sound. The spider bridge transfers string vibrations efficiently to the cone, which pumps out the signature metallic ring of a squareneck resonator. Combined with the solid mahogany body, the result is a tone that's simultaneously woody, steely and shimmering.
Premium Appointments for Vintage-Inspired Style
With chrome hardware, curly maple binding and snowflake inlays, the PBS-M/L Mastertone has premium appointments that evoke resonator tradition. Its enclosed tuners provide rock-solid intonation, while the Paul Beard tailpiece helps strings ring freely. From its maple bridge to screened soundhole, the PBS-M/L Mastertone's classic styling pays homage to resonator history. Overall, this left-handed squareneck guitar looks as lush as it sounds.
