Bedell 1964 Orchestra Special Edition

Description

Presenting the Bedell 1964 Orchestra Special Edition, featuring the classic combination of an Adirondack Spruce top with Honduran Mahogany back and sides.

Crafted similarly to the way guitars were built fifty years ago, the Bedell 1964 Orchestra brings back the spirit of the music we all love.

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.

The Honduran mahogany back and sides deliver a balanced, resonant tone with a thick bottom end, rich midrange, and a controlled, warm top end. As always, no forests were clear-cut to build Bedell 1964 guitars.

The workshop-installed K&K Pure Mini pickup captures the authentic fullness of analog sound and the vibe of the era, without stage feedback.

The ethically sourced tonewoods, the all-wood binding and subtle appointments result in a classic instrument, made with the same care, attention and craftsmanship as guitars from the golden era of instrument building… all at an accessible price point.
