We picked up a few more details about the new Jerry Douglas signature resonator guitars from Beard Guitars, though there still isn’t any new info on their web site.
There will be two Douglas models – a production model and a limited edition guitar.
The Jerry Douglas signature model will have all solid woods – Honduran ribbon mahogany for the back and sides, sapele (African mahogany) for the top, and mahogany for the neck. The inlay and coverplate will be custom to the Douglas model and will ship for $5250 with arched hardshell case and straplock assembly.
The Limited Edition guitar uses solid pomele sapele – a very highly figured variety – for the back, sides and top. The other components will be the same as the production guitar, other than the installation of a Fishman Aura pickup and the Douglas family crest inlaid on the headstock. Only 50 of these guitars will be made, with a selling price of $7500.
Look for more details soon on the Beard web site.
