The Private Reserve Parlor Ancient Bald Cypress-Milagro Brazilian is an extraordinary one-of-a-kind instrument, meticulously handcrafted to satisfy the most discerning collectors and musicians. This heirloom-quality guitar embodies Bedell’s commitment to artistry, sustainability, and the rarest tonewoods on Earth.

Exquisite Tonewoods – A Legacy of Sound

At the heart of this masterpiece lies an Ancient Bald Cypress top—wood that has been naturally aged for centuries, imparting a tonal complexity rarely found in modern instruments. Paired with Milagro Brazilian Rosewood back and sides, the tonal spectrum is rich, dynamic, and deeply resonant, offering crystalline highs, articulate midrange, and a full-bodied low end that only the finest Brazilian rosewood can achieve.

The neck, crafted from Honduran Mahogany, ensures exceptional stability and warmth, while the compound tapered dovetail neck joint enhances resonance and sustain. The Ebony fingerboard and bridge provide a luxurious feel under the fingers, elevating the playing experience to new heights.

Aesthetic Excellence & Impeccable Detail

Every element of this instrument has been meticulously designed for elegance and playability. The gloss-finished body is complemented by a Banded Burst semi-gloss barrel with a gloss heel and headstock, highlighting the natural depth and character of the wood. The intricate Fireside detailing in Figured Maple adds a touch of understated sophistication, while the Brazilian rosewood binding frames the guitar for a refined, elegant look.

Optimized for Performance

The deep body parlor shape offers remarkable projection and tonal depth for its size, making it an exceptional instrument for both fingerstyle and light strumming. A 25.0” scale length and 1.75” nut width provides a comfortable playing experience, while the precision hand tuned Adirondack Spruce bracing enhances the guitar’s responsiveness and articulation.

Equipped with Waverly #4072 nickel tuners with black pearl buttons, tuning stability is second to none, and the bone nut and saddle contribute to its pure, uncolored tone.

This exclusive guitar comes protected in a Bedell Custom Ameritage case, ensuring its preservation for generations to come. Strung with D’Addario XS PB Light strings (.012″-.053″), it is ready to deliver an unparalleled musical experience from the very first note.

For the collector who values rarity, sustainability, and master craftsmanship, the Private Reserve Parlor Ancient Bald Cypress-Milagro Brazilian is not just a guitar—it’s a timeless piece of musical artistry.
