Deco Phonic Acoustic
R-137 Sidecar
The Sidecar is the flagship model of the Deco line. The classic and compact Beard “R” body shape is comfortable and appealing. A solid spruce top featuring mahogany Aero-X bracing provides a rich, balanced sound with a slightly pronounced midrange response. The Sidecar is especially suited for fingerstyle and blues. The mahogany 14 fret neck has a subtle V-shape to provide plenty of comfort and access.
Sidecar
This small R-Body shaped guitar has a top made of solid Englemann spruce and back and sides made of Finnish birch veneer. The unique back and sides reflect the top’s energy to create more projection and a clearer sound.
The Aero-X bracing is a proprietary bracing that combines aircraft lightening techniques with rigid mahogany. The braces weigh the same as spruce, but have a smaller, stiffer footprint. This noticeably impacts the volume and projection of the guitar, as well as the responsiveness and touch sensitivity of the strings.
Made of solid mahogany, it features a Morado fingerboard, grained ivoroid dots, and contains a double action truss rod. In unison with the Deco resonators, Deco acoustics have a unique scale length of 25 inches. This slightly shorter scale length results in less string tension which in turn allows for a lighter more responsive top without compromising structural integrity.
The Morado bridge comes with boxwood bridge pins and a genuine bone saddle. The peghead features an ebony truss rod cover, bone nut, and Gotoh tuners.
The Deco-Sidecar starts at $2,600 and comes with a deluxe hard-shell case.
