The solid woods used to craft your Bedell Guitar not only create a one-of-a-kind, gorgeous appearance for your instrument. More important, the woods-coupled with your playing style, of course-give your instrument its unique sound. All of our woods are individually hand-selected from the finest supplies to ensure a quality instrument and sound we're certain you'll appreciate. Once it's cut, our wood is cured for more than two years at a precisely controlled temperature and humidity level so it's perfect for crafting your instrument.
The most popular wood for guitar tops today, Alaskan Sitka spruce produces an even, clear response from low to high tones. Known to improve with age, a Sitka-top guitar should make a great companion for your musical journey.
When you're looking for strong volume and definition in the low, mid, and high tones, look to Canadian cedar for your guitar top. Visually, the warm amber-brown color of this wood creates a pleasing, mellow look.
Choose a guitar with maple back and sides for a textured bass with clear mid and high tones. Our Canadian flame maple is strong and has a beautiful figured grain pattern.
Strum a guitar with Indian rosewood back and sides when you want to generate a strong bass with thick mid and treble tones. And from a purely visual standpoint, the deep burgundy glow of rosewood gives your instrument a rich, mellow look.
The distinct grain of African sapele wood is only part of its beauty. The gorgeous sound it helps produce when you play is another. Sapele wood, which is very similar to mahogany, produces strong and even low, mid, and high tones.
