Private Reserve Parlor Lucky Strike Redwood – “The Tree” Mahogany

The Bedell Private Reserve Parlor Lucky Strike Redwood is a guitar that redefines elegance, combining two of the rarest and most coveted tonewoods on the planet: Lucky Strike Redwood and mahogany from The Tree. Crafted with exceptional artistry, this limited-edition guitar delivers an unmatched tonal experience and a design that embodies the natural beauty of its legendary materials.

At its core, this guitar features a Lucky Strike Redwood top, prized for its stunning tonal qualities. Known for its incredible sensitivity and responsiveness, the Lucky Strike Redwood brings out the best in delicate fingerpicking while providing depth and warmth when strummed.

The back and sides are made from The Tree, a rare Honduran mahogany that has gained legendary status for its otherworldly three-dimensional grain pattern and extraordinary tonal properties. Mahogany from The Tree offers a warmth and resonance that is unmatched, with lush sustain and a rich, full-bodied sound that elevates the performance of any musician lucky enough to play it.

The parlor body shape of this guitar ensures an intimate, expressive sound, making it ideal for fingerstyle players and those who enjoy nuanced, delicate playing. Despite its compact size, the deep, non-cutaway body delivers surprising volume and resonance, making it as powerful as it is refined.

Finished with a hand-rubbed semi-gloss finish, the guitar’s natural wood grain is beautifully highlighted, creating a visual feast that is as breathtaking as its sound. The ebony end pin and simple, sophisticated appointments reflect Bedell’s attention to detail and commitment to creating heirloom-quality instruments.

This is more than just a guitar—it’s a piece of history. With only a limited number of instruments crafted from The Tree, the 2024 Private Reserve Parlor is not only a joy to play but a highly collectible work of art. Musicians and collectors alike will appreciate the exclusivity, craftsmanship, and unparalleled tonal quality of this remarkable instrument.
