Just in – a National Reso-Phonic Wocket Wooden Rocket! This mahogany laminate version has all the features of the very popular National Reso-Rocket, but with the extra warmth and growl wood provides.

As a round neck instrument, the Beard Odyssey is a departure from Paul Beard’s usual construction style.

This is an excellent instrument with a unique look.
