Why we love it?

This guitar is a cannon! Our boss Jay Wolfe has this same model and BRAGS on it constantly! Kinda annoying, but he's very sincere in saying "IT BLOWS AWAY ANY MARTIN WE'VE EVER HEARD." This very familiar sound and shape feel right at home to anyone familiar with vintage styled instruments. The 1964 Special Edition features a 1-3/4” nut with an Adirondack spruce top paired with old growth Honduran Mahogany. The result is a powerful instrument great for any style of play. Up and down the neck, the sound of this instrument remains consistent and full. It’s a joy to play and is always a great tool for any guitarists collection. (just don't ask Jay how he likes his Bedell 1964, unless you have time to kill)

THE BEDELL 1964 LIMITED EDITION DREADNOUGHT IS CONSTRUCTED FROM A TIME-HONORED TONEWOOD COMBINATION OF ADIRONDACK SPRUCE AND HONDURAN MAHOGANY, CRAFTED SIMILARLY TO THE WAY GUITARS WERE BUILT FIFTY YEARS AGO. THE BEDELL 1964 DREADNOUGHT BRINGS BACK THE SPIRIT OF THE MUSIC WE ALL LOVE. ADIRONDACK SPRUCE HAS BEEN ADDED TO THIS GUITAR THUS MAKING IT A SPECIAL EDITION! ADIRONDACK SPRUCE GIVES AN EXTENDED HARMONIC CONTENT AND IS SOUGHT AFTER FOR THIS REASON. THE 1964 DREADNOUGHT’S HONDURAN MAHOGANY BACK AND SIDES DELIVER A BALANCED, RESONANT TONE WITH A THICK BOTTOM END, RICH MIDRANGE, AND A CONTROLLED, WARM TOP END. AS ALWAYS, NO FORESTS WERE CLEAR-CUT TO BUILD BEDELL 1964 GUITARS.

THE WORKSHOP-INSTALLED K&K PURE MINI PICKUPS IN THE BEDELL 1964 DREADNOUGHT CAPTURE THE AUTHENTIC FULLNESS OF ANALOG SOUND AND THE VIBE OF THE ERA, WITHOUT STAGE FEEDBACK. THE ETHICALLY SOURCED TONEWOODS, THE ALL-WOOD BINDING AND SUBTLE APPOINTMENTS RESULT IN A CLASSIC INSTRUMENT, MADE WITH THE SAME CARE, ATTENTION AND CRAFTSMANSHIP AS GUITARS FROM THE GOLDEN ERA OF INSTRUMENT BUILDING… ALL AT AN ACCESSIBLE PRICE POINT.
