2016 Beard Deco Phonic Model 27 Resonator Guitar
Overview: This is a tremendous-sounding Dobro! Oops, I mean Beard! It has the classic bluegrass sound but due to the nature of the build, its quality, and its premium Beard cone, it sounds bigger, fuller, and louder than what you're expecting for this body shape. It has the usual ply-birch body and soundwell design you'd expect but aside from the cone, it also has a Fishman Jerry Douglas pickup factory-installed so it's ready for the stage, too.
Repairs included: I seated the cone a little better, tweaked the wiring path so the cable didn't rattle internally, and gave it light adjustments and setup work. It plays beautifully and is ready to go.
