Gold Tone PBRD- Paul Beard Deluxe Resonator GuitarBy Frank Raymond MD
I play mostly electric guitar and bass in a hobby originals band that I would characterize as post-punk/alt-rock. I have 20+ guitars but none are acoustic, so I have been searching for several months for a decent one in the under 400$ range. I have been very disappointed with the anemic sounds of even the +1000$ models from all the usual makers. I was shocked that a 1200$ Martin wasn't even all real wood! Sitting in the corner with the mandolins and banjos was a lone dobro (specifically, a Goldtone by Paul Beard - Resonator Deluxe Model- I never heard of either brand); since I had never even held one before I tried it out of curiosity. The first thing I noticed was that it felt SOLID and HEAVY, and had a very satisfying feel to it. I banged out my three open chord test song and I IMMEDIATELY knew I was not leaving the store without this guitar. This was exactly the full, LOUD, rich bass yet twangy sound I was looking for. The sound I remember from decades ago playing my friends dreadnought Martin. An unmistakably distinctive resonator metallic edge to it, but that was almost a plus. I imagine playing with a slide and/or fingerpicks would markedly accentuate those tonal features, but bare finger picking and strumming and flatpicking with a little palm mute produced a sound that gave me butterflies in my stomach. Plucked harmonics sounded better than most hot electrics or chicken picked teles. The dynamic range was incredible, and I sensed that this thing PROJECTS if you are in front of it. I can't wait to experiment with mic'ing techniques to capture that sound.
