The Bedell Overture Dreadnought #8009 is part of Bedell's Brazilian Rosewood Collection — a hand-numbered limited edition of just eight instruments — and pairs a solid European Spruce top with rare, legally-documented Brazilian Rosewood back and sides for a voice with deep bass, brilliant trebles, and the long, vocal sustain that has made Brazilian rosewood the most coveted tonewood in acoustic guitar history. Built by hand in Bedell's Oregon custom shop on a 25.5″ scale with a Honduran Mahogany neck, ebony binding, and intertwining-leaves inlays, the dreadnought body delivers booming low-end power without losing single-note clarity. The Brazilian rosewood was legally imported decades before international export restrictions took effect, with full documentation as part of Bedell's Seed-to-Song traceability program, making this guitar one of a tiny number of new instruments anywhere in the world built with fully legal, vintage-quality Brazilian rosewood. Ships in a custom Ameritage hardshell case.
