This is our first Beard DecoPhonic Southside in the shop and we are so impressed! Tons of clarity and attitude, this guitar is so fun to play. Made with a solid Englemann top and a Finnish Burch veneer - this is a wood very familiar to Beard, and chosen for its sonic properties. Very cool and unique flattop acoustic guitar! Here is what Beard says:
The Southside is the do-it-all guitar of the Deco lineup. Slightly larger than a Sidecar, the mid-size Beard “A” body shape is visually unique and still very comfortable to play. The solid spruce top with mahogany Aero-X bracing provides a rich, balanced sound that is incredibly even across the frequency range. If you are looking for a versatile go anywhere, do anything instrument, the Southside is it. As always, all Deco guitars are handmade in Hagerstown Maryland.
