In my opinion Paul Beard makes the best sounding Reso-phonic guitars I have ever heard. While it has been my experience that golden era vintage acoustic guitars, banjos, and mandolins are still the most sought after and highest priced instruments within their genre, because of Paul Beard and a few other makers that is no longer the case with Reso-phonic instruments. Paul's new guitars beat any Golden era vintage wood body Reso-phonic guitars I have ever encountered.
