Beard Jerry Douglas Signature Black Beard Squareneck Resonator - Flat Satin Black

Vintage Warmth Meets Modern Resonator Engineering: The "Black Beard"

The Guitar Sanctuary is proud to present the Beard Jerry Douglas Signature "Black Beard" Squareneck Resonator in a sleek, stealthy Flat Satin Black finish. Designed in close collaboration between master luthier Paul Beard and dobro legend Jerry Douglas, the Black Beard takes the legendary tone of the standard Jerry Douglas Signature model and infuses it with a darker, warmer acoustic character and an unmistakable modern aesthetic.

Constructed entirely from solid Finnish Birch with a maple neck and ebony fretboard, the Black Beard utilizes a specialized open-body design paired with a hand-spun Beard Legend Cone™ and spider bridge. This combination yields incredible projection, extended bass response, and a rich, woody midrange cut that effortlessly solos over dense acoustic mixes or locks into bluegrass and Americana rhythms.

Why We Love It & Tone Profile

Tone Profile: Warm, Woody, Dynamic, Punchy, and Articulate with massive acoustic projection.

Best For: Bluegrass, Americana, Country, Modern Slide/Dobro, Studio Recording, and Live Performance.

Compared To: Standard Beard Jerry Douglas Signature, Scheerhorn Squareneck Resonators, National Reso-Phonic Squarenecks.

Sanctuary Expert Note: "The Flat Satin Black finish isn't just a visual statement—the ultra-thin satin lacquer lets the Finnish Birch body breathe and vibrate naturally. Compared to heavy gloss finishes, the Black Beard has an immediately open, broken-in acoustic response right out of the hardshell case."
