Beard Resonator Guitar Kit Construction-Unpacking-Part 1-Gary Clardy

I am building a resonator guitar using a kit from Resophonic Outfitters/Beard Guitars here at Clardy Guitars in Burns, TN. The first video of this series is unpacking the kit. Future videos will show the actual construction.

Thanks for sharing this, I too am planning to do the same thing, im fairly new to building guitars, ive done one 000 size acoustic and also a ukelele. I had figured that Paul Beard stuff is likely to be as good as it gets so I will also be following your path, mine will be a round neck. Then if it goes well a square neck will be the next. Thanks again, and I will be tuning in to enjoy your progress with it. Thanks Ray.

The bolt on neck is, I feel, a weakness. Heavy strings and more than 6 strings can be a bit shaky in my experience. The kit otherwise looks super.

10 layers? Then it is a laminated top
