Custom Masterpiece: Modern Resonator Innovation Meets Bespoke Artistry
The Guitar Sanctuary is thrilled to present a truly one-of-a-kind custom creation from master luthier Paul Beard: the Beard Legacy E-Model Squareneck Resonator in a stunning, custom Blue Denim with Purple Burst finish. Combining top-tier acoustic projection with cutting-edge performance hardware, this instrument is designed for the discriminating lap-slide artist who demands uncompromised tone, effortless tuning versatility, and striking aesthetics.
Handcrafted in Hagerstown, Maryland, this Legacy E-Model is constructed entirely from highly figured Curly Maple (top, back, sides, and neck) and features custom chamfered body edges for enhanced playing comfort during long sessions. At the heart of its acoustic engine is the famous Beard Vesper Cone™, delivering brilliant top-end articulation, rich midrange punch, and dynamic acoustic headroom that effortlessly cuts through any ensemble.
Unrivaled Versatility: The Hipshot Doubleshot Package
What truly sets this custom Legacy E-Model apart is the factory-installed Hipshot Doubleshot Package. Featuring the revolutionary Hipshot Doubleshot Bridge, a Hipshot Roller Nut, and ultra-precise Gotoh 510 tuning machines, this system allows you to instantaneously shift between two distinct tunings—such as Open G and Open D—with a simple flip of a lever on the bridge. No string binding, no retuning delays on stage, and perfect pitch stability every time. All hardware is finished in sleek, stealthy black, and the guitar comes housed in an extra-deep deluxe hardshell case engineered specifically to accommodate the Doubleshot system.
Why We Love It & Tone Profile
Tone Profile: Articulate, Dynamic, Punchy, Hi-Fi, and Woody with immense acoustic projection and crystal-clear sustain.
Best For: Bluegrass, Modern Americana, Country, Studio Recording, and Live Performance where instant tuning shifts are required.
Compared To: Standard Beard E-Model, Scheerhorn Custom Squarenecks, National Reso-Phonic Squarenecks.
Sanctuary Expert Note: "The Hipshot Doubleshot system is a game-changer for gigging resonator players. Going from open G to open D on the fly without having to swap guitars or pause the show is invaluable. Combined with the chamfered body edges and the aggressive bite of the Vesper Cone, this is easily one of the most versatile and comfortable squarenecks we've ever held."
