Beard Guitars
Beard Guitars is a renowned and reliable brand that has provided square-neck and round body guitars to amateurs and experts alike for 35+ years. The company arose from the ambitions of Paul Beard, who put his degrees in aviation mechanics and mechanical engineering to use in designing and building superior resonator guitars. Beard Guitars displays his devotion to exacting craftsmanship in a comprehensive catalog of beautiful instruments that would make any musician glow with pride to own one.
The Sloan School of Music carries a selection of Beard Guitars for players ranging from beginning students to higher levels. Check out the shop to see our range of guitars and speak with a musical instrument expert to find out which guitar might be best for you.
Brand Notes
Paul Beard’s fascination with resonator guitars began as a teen when he played and repaired them. He eventually became unsatisfied with the resonators on the market and set out to design a better one. Beard Guitars crafted the first Beard Resonator Guitar in 1985, and it became the company’s signature style.
The brand has expanded since then to designing specialized, top-quality guitars with rich, resonant sounds. From the first purchase in the 1980s, a time of emergent evolutions in rock music, the brand has crafted 15 square neck and round neck models to fit any guitar player’s skill set, style, and abilities. Prominent professionals such as Mike Auldridge, Jerry Douglas, LeRoy Mack, Zac Brown, and more play Beard guitars.
