Douglas/Beard Collaboration News

I've caught ear of a few more details bubbling up from the NAMM show in California regarding the much anticipated Jerry Douglas model guitar from Beard.

Reportedly there will be two versions. One, an "Aura Ready" Sapele Pomele model complete with a innovative new pickup system from Fishman which will list for $7500. There will also be a Mahogany Sapele version minus the pickup system for $5250.

Additionally, the newest incarnation of the Fishman Aura will be more "stompbox" in nature.

More details as I hear them. 2008 should prove to be a dynamic year for the reso market.
