This is the left-handed Gold Tone PBS-M, the solid-mahogany member of the Paul Beard Signature Series, and a genuinely rare thing: a squareneck resonator built left-handed at this level of quality. A solid mahogany body and neck finished in a rich tobacco sunburst host the famed Paul Beard “open” soundwell with a genuine USA-made Beard cone and spider bridge — the same components serious dobro players seek out individually — so the voice is loud, woody and cutting in the way a bluegrass resonator needs to be.
All-solid-wood construction gives the PBS-M a directness that laminated bodies never quite find, and curly maple binding and a Paul Beard tailpiece finish it properly. This is a squareneck, so it is set up for lap-style slide playing rather than fretted guitar technique. It ships with a case.
This instrument ships factory-fresh direct from Gold Tone, where every instrument receives a professional setup at their Titusville, Florida shop before it leaves. It arrives with its case and the full Gold Tone manufacturer warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this genuinely a left-handed instrument?
Yes. This is Gold Tone’s factory left-handed PBS-M, built left-handed rather than converted. The photographs show the right-handed model because Gold Tone photographs the line in right-handed form; the instrument you receive is left-handed.
What is the difference between the PBS-M and the standard PBS?
The PBS-M is the solid-mahogany version. Both use the Paul Beard open soundwell with a genuine USA Beard cone and spider, but the all-solid mahogany body and neck give the PBS-M a drier, more focused voice and a higher level of finish, including the curly maple binding.
