As many of today's national brands have moved to laminates for their backs and sides, Tom Bedell went to his production partner with a challenge: handcraft the finest possible acoustic guitar using no plywood or synthetic parts. The result, a limited edition of eight, all solid wood Bedell "C" First Generation guitars, featuring ebony fingerboards and bridges and all wood binding.

This one-of-a-kind CTB-18 Dreadnaught cut-a-way displays a solid spruce top with solid mahogany back and sides. Hard shell case included.
