Bedell Bedell Fireside Parlor with Brazilian Rosewood Back and Sides and Adirondack Spruce Top
Presenting Bedell Guitars Fireside Parlor with Adirondack Spruce Top and Brazilian Rosewood Back and Sides, part of a very limited run of only 12 guitars. There is something magical about this model. It might be the sonic combination of the classic pre-war receipe of these two complimentary tonewoods, which gives this guitar a classic look and an elegant sonic beauty. Maybe it’s the combination of comfort and response afforded by Bedell’s deep parlor body style which assists these tonewoods in projecting their sweet tone with a strong volume and ringing sustain. Adirondack Spruce delivers volume and clarity without distortion even with heavy picking. Adirondack is relatively heavy, with a high velocity of sound, and has the highest stiffness of all top woods across and along the grain. An endangered and carefully protected species, Brazilian rosewood (Dalbergia nigra) is the most precious of tonewoods. Simply called “rio” by Brazilians, it is highly regarded among luthiers and collectors for its magical tonal character and deep, rich beauty – and it is vigorously regulated; it is protected with the same level of regulation as ivory. Brazilian rosewood produces a loud, warm, rich tone, with full deep bases, brilliant trebles, delivering excellent sustain and clarity. Its appearance varies from brick red and burnt orange to shades of dark brown to violet color with black spidery streaks. Wherever you decide the magic lies, there’s plenty of it.
