Bedell LTD Dreadnought Cutaway Buckskin Redwood–Esperanza Brazilian Rosewood

Handcrafted in Oregon, USA — a limited edition masterpiece with timeless tonewoods and unmatched artistry

The Bedell LTD Dreadnought Cutaway is a stunning example of American luthiery at its finest — handmade in Oregon, USA, and crafted from some of the most precious and sustainable tonewoods available. Each guitar comes with a SITES certificate for international shipping, ensuring compliance and authenticity for this rare and exceptional instrument.

Its top is made from vertically-grained Buckskin Redwood — reclaimed from Humboldt County’s forest floor where it has rested for centuries, naturally aged to perfection. This remarkable tonewood combines the warmth and responsiveness of cedar with the clarity and headroom of spruce, resulting in a voice that is both lush and articulate.

Complementing the redwood top is the exquisite Esperanza Brazilian Rosewood back and sides, chosen for its rich, harmonic overtones, deep low end, and brilliant sustain. The rosewood’s visual beauty ranges from brick red and burnt orange to dark brown and violet hues with delicate black streaks — a tonewood as visually striking as it is sonically powerful.

The Honduran Mahogany neck offers a fast, comfortable playing experience, perfectly balanced with the instrument’s tonal complexity. Featuring L.R. Baggs Anthem electronics for studio-quality amplified sound, tortoise binding, and a sloped cutaway for enhanced upper fret access, the Bedell LTD is designed for discerning players seeking an heirloom-level acoustic guitar that performs beautifully on stage and in the studio.

Why It Stands Out

The Bedell LTD Buckskin Redwood–Esperanza Brazilian Rosewood is more than an instrument — it’s a work of art, blending sustainability, craftsmanship, and rare materials into a truly inspiring acoustic experience.
