Designed for the 2025 January NAMM Show, the Fireside Parlor European-Flamed Maple is a rare and meticulously crafted instrument, built for players and collectors who appreciate both tonal brilliance and aesthetic sophistication. With a deep-body parlor shape, exquisite Flamed Maple tonewood, a hand-applied Brown Violin stain, and a vintage inspired back inlay, this guitar is an heirloom-worthy piece designed to inspire for generations.

Masterful Tonewoods – Crisp, Clear, and Articulate

The soundboard features a premium European Spruce top, delivering exceptional clarity, responsiveness, and dynamic range. Its lively, articulate nature makes it a favorite for intricate fingerstyle playing and light-touch strumming, offering bell-like highs and a well-defined midrange.

The Flamed Maple back and sides contribute an even tonal balance—crisp and articulate, with a strong fundamental. This pairing ensures a bright, focused sound with an even decay, making it perfect for performers and studio work. The compound tapered dovetail neck joint enhances tonal transfer and the Ebony bridge and fingerboard provide seamless sustain and effortless playability.

Timeless Elegance & Premium Craftsmanship

Visually, the Fireside Parlor is a work of art. Its Brown Violin stain semi-gloss finish enhances the striking figuring of the Flamed Maple, giving it a rich, vintage-inspired glow. The Fireside detailing in Figured Maple, add an understated elegance, while the Nouveau inspired inlay design on the back adds a sophisticated element of surprise.

Parlor-Sized, Yet Powerful in Projection

Though compact, this deep-body parlor is designed for resonance and depth. The 25.0” scale length and 1.75” nut width ensure ease of play for intricate fingerstyle work and expressive lead lines. Every guitar is hand voiced, and uses Adirondack Spruce bracing to enhance responsiveness, projection and clarity.

For tuning stability and a vintage-inspired touch, the guitar features Waverly #4076 relic nickel tuners, paired with a bone nut and saddle to enhance tonal purity and sustain.

A Collectible Instrument, Protected for a Lifetime

This NAMM-exclusive release is more than an instrument—it’s a statement of artistry and craftsmanship. Delivered in a Bedell Custom Ameritage case, it arrives strung with D’Addario XS PB Light strings (.012″-.053″), ensuring premium sound from the very first note.

For the collector seeking rarity, refinement, and tonal brilliance, the Fireside Parlor European-Flamed Maple stands as a testament to Bedell’s dedication to fine lutherie and sustainable artistry.
