Al Beardsell Guitars I first came across Al's work when I was reading The Fretboard Journal. There was a mandolin I just had to have. I checked out his website and it was available, so guess what? I also noticed his amazing design aesthetic applied to guitars as well. So he went on my list of luthiers to work with in future. When I met him and saw a couple of his guitars I was hooked. I have always been fascinated by innovative design that combines traditional techniques with original thinking. Al is a master of this way of working. |

Beardsell 3-DM
£5,195.00In stock
I can still remember the first time I saw an instrument by Al. This is my first Beardsell guitar and I am well and truly gobsmacked. It looks like a work of art and plays like a dream.
The tone is big, fat and generous. There's great volume and willing response to a light touch with dark and luscious bass notes, full mids and ringing sweet 'n clear trebles. To coin that tired old cliché (again) it sounds as good as it looks.
