Our first interview at the 2018 Winter NAMM Show in Anaheim, CA was with Tom Bedell of Bedell Guitars. You may also know Tom as Founder of Two Old Hippies, LLC, a music and clothing (“lifestyle”) store in Nashville, TN, as well as owner of Breedlove Stringed Instruments and Weber Fine Acoustic Instruments.
“Seed-to-Song”
Beyond the impressive craftsmanship and great sound, Bedell Guitars have found a unique niche in the community of acoustic guitar manufactures. They ensure that no clear-cut trees will ever be used for their guitars. To go a step further, they offer a history of the tone woods used in each guitar from where the tree was harvested and what its lifespan was, as represented in the “Seed-to-Song” Journals that accompany every guitar. They also include the registrations and certifications that “assure full compliance with all international regulations and treaties, including CITES and the Legacy Act.” So if you’re an environmentally conscious guitar buyer, you should have plenty of peace of mind when buying Bedell.
