Custom Maryland Craftsmanship Meets Instant Multi-Tuning Versatility
The Guitar Sanctuary is proud to present a custom-appointed Beard Guitars Legacy E Squareneck Resonator finished in a striking Navy Sunburst High Gloss finish. Handcrafted in Hagerstown, Maryland by Paul Beard and his master luthiers, this bespoke Legacy E combines a stunning Premium-Grade Maple body with a full factory-installed Hipshot Doubleshot tuning system and sleek Black Hardware.
Constructed with hand-selected Premium Maple top, back, and sides, this Legacy E delivers crisp, immediate attack, sparkling midrange projection, and the unmistakable acoustic authority required to cut through dense acoustic ensembles. Inside, Beard’s renowned open-soundwell body design houses a hand-spun Beard Legend Cone and #14 Spider Bridge, paired with an integrated Fishman Nashville Series Resophonic pickup for plug-and-play stage clarity.
Setting this instrument apart from standard production models is the complete Hipshot Doubleshot Package. Featuring the mechanical Hipshot Doubleshot bridge, a friction-free Hipshot Roller Nut, and Hipshot Grip-Lock locking tuners, players can effortlessly flip between two distinct open tunings—such as Open G and Open D—mid-song with rock-solid intonation. To protect the elevated bridge geometry, this guitar ships complete with a custom extra-deep hardshell case.
Sanctuary Expert Note: For touring country, bluegrass, and studio session players, carrying multiple squarenecks for different tunings is a major headache. Outfitting a Premium Maple Legacy E with the full Hipshot Doubleshot package, roller nut, and Grip-Lock tuners gives you instant, accurate tuning changes at the flick of a lever—all wrapped in a jaw-dropping Navy Sunburst gloss finish with black hardware.
