When Tom was just a kid, he got his first guitar-a white-blonde Fender Stratocaster-fueling his passion for music. In 1964, at the age of 14, Tom wanted to share that passion by introducing a more accessible guitar to the community. That year he began selling his own line of Bedell acoustic guitars. His soul filled with the power of music, Tom sees every day as a new opportunity to create something special. That's the inspiration behind Bedell Guitars. Always in pursuit of the perfect sound.

Though decades have passed since Tom strummed a chord on the very first Bedell Guitar, his passion still thrives in his custom collection of premium guitars. There are no shortcuts to handcrafting one of our instruments.
