Gold Tone GRE Paul Beard Signature Steel Resonator + Original Hard Case

Reluctantly offering my Gold Tone GRE Paul Beard Signature steel-body resonator for sale.

The only reason I'm selling is that I recently treated myself to a Michael Messer Blues resonator, and with limited space at home I simply can't justify keeping them both. This one deserves to be played.

The guitar is in excellent, near-mint condition. It's been carefully looked after, is completely original, and comes with its original fitted hard case, which is also in excellent condition.

The GRE is a wonderfully playable resonator thanks to its slim body and comfortable D-shaped neck. Compared with a traditional metal-body resonator it's noticeably easier to handle while still delivering the classic Paul Beard spider-cone sound. The built-in lipstick pickup also makes it a great choice for gigging, with onboard volume and tone controls.
