THE BEDFORD IS BACK

Re-introducing the Deluxe Bedford. Reimagined from its former configuration, the Deluxe Bedford offers premium componentry and a no-frills electronics configuration that guarantees an inspirational tone. Now equipped with two Seymour Duncan USA Stacked P90s, the Bedford offers snappy mid-highs and rich, clear lows—all without the pesky 60-cycle hum that often turns players away from P90s. Constructed with an alder body, three-piece maple and walnut neck, and an ebony fingerboard, the Deluxe Bedford is well-balanced and guarantees remarkable sustain. Also features a Wilkinson six-point tremolo system. Now available in Desert Gold, Matte Walnut, and Solid Black.

Features:

OFFSET YOUR EXPECTATIONS

Since its introduction in 2017, the Bedford has been a welcome addition to the world of offset solid bodies. With a deep belly cut as well as arm bevel and an extended lower bout for additional sustain, the Bedford is well-balanced and highly wieldable without sacrificing sustain.

STACKED TONE

You asked for more P90s and we were all too happy to oblige. Now featuring Seymour Duncan USA Stacked P90s, the Deluxe Bedford offers a noiseless, articulate tone that ranges from round warmth to snappy bite with ease. A Wilkinson six-point tremolo offers both excellent tremolo control and tuning stability.

DECO DETAILS

Though far from the roots of our jazz boxes, the Bedford exudes D’Angelico history in its attention to detail: a re-designed “F-hole” pickguard, ebony fingerboard with split-block inlays, and an undersized version of our legendary original headstock
