OH-12-G

Hello, just wanted you to know that I just picked up a Bedell OH-12-G.  This guitar is just awesome.  I have had several Parlor guitars but never had been happy with the way any of them sounded.  Yours just blew me away.  Nice deep rich, warm, mellow sound that I have been looking for in a Parlor.  Great job.  I am a very satisfied customer.

TB-28-G

I just purchased an awesome pre-owned Bedell TB-28-G acoustic. I love this Bedell guitar!! Awesome tone, outstanding workmanship and superb playabiliy. Thanks for making a great guitar without having to take out a second mortgage on the house to buy it! Kevin; TB-28-G

OH-12E-G

I love it.  This guitar is simply phenomenal, both in looks and in sound.  It’s the only guitar I’ve ever had or seen personally that resonates so fully – like a strumming a well-made 12-string.   I had not heard of Bedell guitars until last week.  I just happened to be searching online for a parlor-sized guitar, looking for recommendations.  I came across some acoustic guitar blog where someone had mentioned Bedell and asked if anyone had played it.  I, then, did a few searches for Bedell specifically and saw the great reviews and a YouTube of the owner of Schmitt Music playing the same model I was looking for and praising the virtues of it.  I was sold right there.  And since receiving my guitar, I couldn’t have been happier.

Not a Better Guitar!

There's not a better guitar out there for the money then a Bedell.

OH-12-G

Recently purchased a Bedell parlor guitar OH-12-G. I would like to know what brand of strings were put on these guitars at the factory. I usually play classical guitar, but tried the Bedell parlor guitar OH-12-G at Elderly Instruments and fell in love with it. Being a woman, it fits my hands better and is so easy to play. I will never sell this one!

TBA-28-G

I just bought a TBA-28-G from Tom while he visited friends in Alaska.  We jammed for a week.  I've been a Gibson, Martin, and Fender guitar player since I was 5 years old (1960 Gibson Melody Maker, 1970 Gibson Hummingbird, 1984 Martin Shenandoah D-35, 1996 Martin D-28, and 1997 Fender Stratocaster).  I can't say enough about the quality construction, sound, and feel of my Bedell guitar.  It compares most closely with my '96 D-28 in sound and performance, but far exceeds in sheer beauty.  Thanks so much, Tom!

Bedell OH-12-G:

I’m writing to compliment Bedell Guitars on their instruments and their overall brand.

I currently own a ——– and a ——–. This past weekend at one of your dealers (Chicago Music Exchange) I had my first hands-on experience with Bedell Guitars. I had the privilege of playing a Bedell OH-12-G. It is a beautiful and comfortable instrument with a wonderfully balanced tone. When I can afford to buy my next guitar, it will most definitely be the Bedell OH-12-G.

 

Bedell TB-28-G

Hi – I just bought a TB 28 GS from Schmitt Music in Burnsville about two weeks ago – it is a beauty and I fell in love with it the moment I saw it.  I played my Schmitt Crafter from South Korea next to it for about an hour before I purchased it – went back and forth between the two instruments.  I still think the bass is clearer and more distinct on the Crafter – but I love the sweet and bright sound from the Bedell – I’m wondering if the age of the guitars have anything to do with that difference?  Will the Bedell woods age and “mellow” as they get older – will they produce a “richer” sound as they get older?  I love the Bedell – it is the finest guitar I have ever played – thank you so much for making it and is it true you only made 25 of these models??  Thanks again.

JB-52-G

After talking to a few of your deallers and getting your fast reply I desided to just go ahead and order a JB-52-G online at American Musical Supply.
Wow possibly the best purchase of my life, I love this Guitar at any price but $1500.00 is a steel.
My girlfriend is in florida for a few weeks so she has no clue I bought a guitar but more importantly is that she wasn’t around to see me giggling like a little school girl when I opened the case and first saw and held this guitar. By the way, great service from A.M.S. as well, from order to my door in less than 30hr’s.

Thanks,
Doug

OH-12-G

I received the OH-12-G I ordered today and wanted to let you know how extremely pleased I am not only with the quality of the guitar but also with the case it came in.

I've wanted a solid wood parlor guitar for some time and this one fits the bill at a price point that is fair for the quality of the build and materials used.  The setup straight out of the box is fantastic!  I look forward to many years of playing it.

Thank you Bedell Guitars!
