Presenting the all new Beard Trailhead-E Roundneck Resonator, this one with the Cutaway option, in Scarlet. This one features an all mahogany body and top and their Rosetta Coverplate.

"The Trailhead makes no compromise on quality of sound or aesthetic, but its unique rugged visual features are more forgiving than the average high-end guitar. We want the player to have no fear in taking it out of the case, to feel completely untethered from the stage or studio, with freedom to play this guitar wherever their life's trail leads." - Paul Beard

The Trailhead Series represents the first-time design collaboration between father and son, Paul and Ben Beard, and was created to be an experiential guitar; road-ready for wherever your adventurous spirit takes you.

"Just as the trailhead on a hike marks the genesis of the exciting journey ahead, our hope is that the Trailhead guitar marks the dawn of a new experience for you as a player. Played fingerstyle, the Trailhead-E has a balanced tone that features tight bass-end, velvety mids, clear highs, and crazy sustain. The pick aficionado will hear all the same clarity, balance, and sustain with the addition of a growling low end. Accurate intonation that is rare on a resonator cutaway will unlock the possibility of memories and music to be made whether you are at a festival, arena, or mountaintop."

Body: The Trailhead-E roundneck is a large body guitar with a small round over (making it super-comfortable to play, especially when sitting down), cutaway, and ultra-thin satin finish.

Neck: Made of solid mahogany, the Trailhead's neck has an ebony fretboard, custom curly maple slotted diamond inlays, and a curly maple peghead veneer. A soft c shaped neck makes this guitar incredibly playable all the way up the neck. Lastly, it contains a double action truss rod, an ebony truss rod cover, and a weathered Beard brass badge.

Parts: In addition to the Beard Vesper Cone and Spider, the Trailhead-E comes standard with Beard hand weathered parts. All Beards come standard with Gotoh tuners.

The Trailhead-E roundneck comes standard with a deluxe hardshell case, and Fishman Nashville bridge pickup.
