Bedell Guitars is proud to announce the new Bahia series of acoustic guitars.
Over a half-century ago several Brazilian rosewood logs shipped from NE Brazil to a small company producing church ornaments just outside of Madrid, Spain, where they rested peacefully in a warehouse. As the generations passed and the business focus changed, the logs were cut into tonewood sets for guitars and the company became known as Madinter, one of the premier tonewood suppliers to the world’s exclusive guitar builders. The new Bedell Bahia dreadnought, orchestra, and parlor models are paired with Sitka spruce that was salvaged from the forest floor near Craig, Alaska. The soundboards are over 400 years old, growing slowly as they compete for sun, water and freedom. The guitars feature solid salvaged sitka spruce tops, solid Brazilian rosewood backs and sides, Honduran mahogany necks, ebony fretboard/bridge, koa binding, Waverly tuners, gloss finishes, and a hardshell case.
