1987 Rare US Luthier LARRY E BEARDEN Custom 12-Fret Cutaway Acoustic Guitar

Description

Here is a rare custom steel-string guitar built by LARRY E BEARDEN, a small independant luthier in South Carolina Upstate. This one was built on a classical format with twist that has turned it into an old time flat picker/fingerpicker cannon.
The complete body and neck is bound with Holly and the top has added inlay of broken or divided black-white-black-white-black inside the Holly. The Rosette is completely inlaid of individual pieces. The headstock is beautiful and layered with the Holly again and a piece of Ebony.
Inside is X-braced and not scalloped for further strength to handle the steel strings. The back was hand carved and graduated to create a wonderful slope and give it a bass you can feel in your backbone.
Has a good piezo pickup installed.
This Guitar is in excellent condition overall, with few dents and finish marks on front and back from a normal use. No structural damage or cracks. Comes with a very good condition used Hardshell Case.
If your looking for a lifetime guitar that you’d be proud to pass on as an heirloom this is the one!
Shipping cost includes safe packing, insurance and international airmail registered signed-for delivery with online tracking.
