Beard Model 206 'LeRoy Mack'

Post by Ian Campbell »

Folks, make your Christmas and mine a good one.....

There's not many of these out there and this is a great instrument but it's not doing anyone any good sitting in its case so it's up for grabs.

I've had this guitar for a little over 3 years and it lives up to everything you'd expect from a Beard.

It's a very unique sounding reso being that it's based on the 1930's 206. A marvelous blend of vintage and modern with great tonal range.

Read builders the description here.

You won't have to worry about wearing the gold off, I've already done that :o . The guitar is in great shape no major nicks or dings, just a few on the back of the neck, top is clean no pick or bar marks. Metal work shines but the gold has faded - not from over polishing. But still a very pretty instrument. Original TKL hard case is in great condition has a couple of scrapes nothing major just from doing its job.

I'll include a new leather strap with the correct gold strap lock button for the end pin and also will ship in one of these.

Any and all relevant questions gladly answered, to the best of my ability.

$3500.00 or best sensible offer.

Ian, that is a drop-dead gorgeous resophonic, and I'll bet is sounds as good as it looks. Hope you find a home for it soon--regret that my disposable income for instruments has been disposed of. All the best, Michael
