Overview
The Bedell Earthsong Dreadnought proves it is possible to create a guitar with incredible tone while honouring a complete commitment to forest stewardship. The Earthsong Dreadnought is inspired by the beauty and wonder of the American landscape: the streams and deserts, swamps and forests, beaches and valleys, and all the natural wonders that grace this vast and diverse country, from shore to shore.
The Bedell Earthsong Dreadnought isn’t just sustainable, it is also built using only American harvested woods: a salvaged Sitka spruce soundboard, Western bigleaf maple back and sides, an Eastern hard rock maple neck, and a walnut fretboard, bridge and peghead overlay. Bedell craftsmen have achieved unparalleled tone and projection from these plentiful American woods for a truly planet-friendly guitar made from ethically harvested trees. The Bedell Earthsong Dreadnought features a nitrocellulose finish with a root-beer burst and includes a workshop-installed K&K DuoTone pickup. All Bedell Guitars come with hardshell cases.
