The Beard A-137 Southside Deco Phonic Acoustic Guitar is the do-it-all guitar of the Deco lineup. Slightly larger than a Sidecar, the mid-size Beard “A” body shape is visually unique and still very comfortable to play. The solid spruce top with mahogany Aero-X bracing provides a rich, balanced sound that is incredibly even across the frequency range.
If you are looking for a versatile go anywhere, do anything instrument, the Beard A-137 Southside is it. As always, all Deco guitars are handmade in Hagerstown Maryland.
DETAILS:
- The Aero-X bracing is a proprietary bracing that combines aircraft lightening techniques with rigid mahogany. The braces weigh the same as spruce, but have a smaller, stiffer footprint. This noticeably impacts the volume and projection of the guitar, as well as the responsiveness and touch sensitivity of the strings.
- The neck is made of solid mahogany, it features a Morado fingerboard, grained ivoroid dots, and contains a double action truss rod. In unison with the Deco resonators, Deco acoustics have a unique scale length of 25 inches. This slightly shorter scale length results in less string tension which in turn allows for a lighter more responsive top without compromising structural integrity.
- The Morado bridge comes with boxwood bridge pins and a genuine bone saddle. The peghead features an ebony truss rod cover, bone nut, and Gotoh tuners.
- Tobacco burst finish
- Hard Case: Included
