The Vintage R is currently out of production. This page has been left up as legacy tribute.

For player looking for the classic style and sound of the 1930s resonators.  The Beard R Models (vintage and standard) have a traditional body shape and open soundwell construction.  The Vintage R Model features an unbound birch veneer body and solid mahogany neck with Beards classic burst finish.  Perfect for traditional playing the R Models smaller body produces a clear sustained high range balanced with a punchy growling bass end.  The R Models feature Paul Beards handspun BC-1 Cone and an Original #14™ spider. See Vintage R Model roundneck specs here
