The Beard Legacy-E HipShot DoubleShot Square Neck Resonator Guitar is a stunning example of Paul Beard’s craftsmanship and innovation, rooted in the legacy of the original 1987 E Model that set the standard for open-body resonators. Built from horse chestnut and finished in an elegant Black Ice 2-Tone with maple binding, this instrument balances beauty, power, and nuance. Its dual soundholes, Original #14 Spider bridge, and Beard Legend Cone deliver the rich, articulate tone and remarkable sustain that have made Beard resonators a benchmark for players worldwide.

Outfitted with the Fishman Nashville pickup—co-designed by Jerry Douglas, Larry Fishman, and Paul Beard—this guitar provides stage-ready amplification without sacrificing its natural voice. The system captures the resonator’s full tonal complexity with studio-grade clarity, making it a perfect companion for live and recording environments. Paired with the Hipshot DoubleShot tailpiece, locking tuners, and roller nut, players can switch seamlessly between two tunings on the fly. The Legacy-E embodies the pinnacle of Beard’s tonal design and modern versatility, complete with a hardshell case for ultimate protection.
