Bedell Bahia Dreadnought Adirondack Spruce-Brazilian Rosewood Natural

Bedell Bahia Dreadnought Adirondack Spruce–Brazilian Rosewood Natural Finish

The Bedell Bahia Dreadnought delivers a balanced, responsive playing experience with its 25" scale length and 1.69" nut width, designed for players seeking both comfort and projection. Hand-tuned construction paired with premium tonewoods creates an instrument that responds dynamically across the frequency spectrum while maintaining clear articulation and sustain. This is a serious dreadnought for players who value authentic materials and meticulous craftsmanship.

Construction & Materials

Built with Adirondack Spruce top and Brazilian Rosewood back and sides, this Bahia combines bright, focused treble response with the deep warmth and complexity Brazilian Rosewood is known for. The Honduran Mahogany neck, Brazilian Rosewood fretboard, and Koa binding create a cohesive aesthetic while the Waverly #4075-G slotted tuners with ebony buttons ensure stable tuning and period-appropriate hardware.

Playability & Specifications

The instrument measures 19.67" body length with a 14.25" lower bout width, delivering the full-bodied projection expected from a dreadnought platform. Body depth ranges from 3.375" at the neck to 4" at the tailblock, and the 18 frets provide accessible upper fretboard range while maintaining strong fundamental resonance in the lower registers.
