VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: My first all-solid cedar and mahogany - the bass is robust, clear, really the starting and ending points; a quality that extends throughout the strings, imparting an underlying richness to even the high notes. One on one against its spruce/rosewood sibling, the 28, these qualities make the 17 less light on the ear, but then the 28 lacks its splendid depth. This is a loud guitar when finger-plucked, and with very little effort. Quality: All of the frets extend a non-threatening fraction to either side. My MB28G's minor issue is two not quite perfectly smooth tuners. My Bedell parlor is perfect. An overall very solid guitar - neither airy light, nor weighty. Value: For a Chinese built it is on the high side, but it is ju-st worth it. The Wow Factor: The color of this particular cedar doesn't grab me. Bleh, but ok. Overall: My first Bedell was the mahogany parlor, which I was lucky enough to play in a shop (it was the only model they had). If I hadn't played that, I wouldn't have any Bedell, as the brand isn't easy to come across, or even to find reviews on. If it vanished, I would absolutely replace it.
