The Private Reserve Dreadnought Ancient Bald Cypress-Milagro Brazilian is an exceptional, one-of-a-kind instrument, handcrafted for collectors and players who seek the pinnacle of tonal refinement and aesthetic elegance. Built with some of the rarest and most sought-after tonewoods in existence, this dreadnought delivers unrivaled depth, projection, and resonance.

Unparalleled Tonewoods – A Rare Fusion of History & Sound

The top is crafted from Ancient Bald Cypress, a tonewood that has naturally aged for centuries, offering extraordinary sustain and warmth. Paired with Milagro Brazilian Rosewood back and sides, this guitar boasts a tonal complexity that is both commanding and articulate—deep, resonant bass, rich overtones, and clear, singing highs.

The Honduran Mahogany neck provides a stable, responsive feel, while the compound tapered dovetail neck joint enhances resonance, creating a seamless transfer of vibration throughout the instrument. The Ebony fingerboard and bridge ensure superior durability and smooth playability, ideal for both fingerstyle and flatpicking techniques.

Exquisite Craftsmanship & Elegant Aesthetics

From its hand-applied custom burst gloss finish to the Banded Burst semi-gloss barrel with gloss heel and headstock, this guitar radiates refined artistry. The Mother of Pearl detailing, paired with intricate Spalted Maple and Figured Koa bindings, highlights the natural beauty of its tonewoods. The Mosaic Pin inlays in brass, copper, and nickel silver add a distinctive, sophisticated touch, making this a true collector’s centerpiece.

Hand-tuned for Power & Precision

Designed in the legendary dreadnought body shape, this guitar delivers bold projection with deep, full-bodied resonance. The 25.5” scale length and 1.75” nut width provide effortless playability, while the hand tuned Adirondack Spruce bracing ensures optimal clarity, balance, and power.

The tuning stability is second to none, thanks to Waverly #4072 nickel tuners with black pearl buttons, and the bone nut and saddle ensure a pure, uncolored tone.

A True Collector’s Instrument

This one-of-a-kind dreadnought comes housed in a Bedell Custom Ameritage case, safeguarding its legacy for years to come. Strung with D’Addario XS PB Medium strings (.013″-.056″), it is ready to deliver an unparalleled musical experience from the very first strum.

For those who demand the rarest materials, the finest craftsmanship, and the richest tone, the Private Reserve Dreadnought Ancient Bald Cypress-Milagro Brazilian is more than an instrument—it is an investment in musical artistry.
