At Bedell Guitars, we craft our necks using sustainably harvested Hard Maple from responsibly managed forests in the United States. Known for its exceptional strength and stability, Hard Maple is a time-honored choice for guitar necks—offering lasting durability and precise playability across generations of use.

Tonally, Hard Maple brings a bright, focused response with excellent note definition and sustain – balancing the voice of the instrument beautifully for both fingerstyle and flatpicking players.

Visually, our Hard Maple necks feature a smooth, clean grain—often accented by subtle figuring that adds a classic, understated elegance.

Sustainably sourced and proudly American, our Hard Maple supports Bedell’s commitment to building extraordinary instruments with a conscience—where tone, tradition, and environmental responsibility meet.
