Ok Guys, I Drank the Kool Aid!
Just pre-ordered the Bedell MB-28-G after being reassured by 3 salemen that they are expecting a shipment soon. Whoo Hooo! My First all-wood acoustic!
I had a hard time finding the dimensions of this guitar, so I called Bedell (who was very helpful and friendly)
She said that the reason they are liquidating these guitars is that since they are building guitars in the States, they need the warehouse room. I asked about the 2011/2012 guitars which had been delivered. She assured me that they had been stored in a well-maintained 70º warehouse, a recommended a string change.
Seems that Bedells Orchestra model runs small (19" Body, 3 1/8" Depth,11 1/4" Upper Bout, 9 1/4" Waist, 15 1/8") Which for my 5'1" frame is great.
I asked about the previous pricing, which was $1849 w/ a street price of $1200-$1300. Can't beat that discount with a stick or a guitar neck!
I am interested to hear the reviews of my fellow Kool Aid drinkers.
Meanwhile, my Luthier is standing by for the set up...(if it needs one)
