2 THE BEDELL TONEWOOD CERTIFICATION PROJECT DOING THE RIGHT THING NEVER SOUNDED BETTER MADAGASCAR ALASKA Knowing old-growth trees, living happily in a forest neighborhood, grow extraordinary music wood, we never clear-cut forests, nor use wood from a clear-cut tree. When possible, we collect salvaged dead trees or individually harvest old-age trees, making the smallest possible imprint on the forest neighborhood. 2 GUATEMALA
3 THE SEED-TO-SONG JOURNEY COSTA RICA Tonewood Certification Project The Build Process The Custom Shop Milagro Cathedral Rio Bahia Angelica Revolution Coffee House Special Edition Classic Folk ALASKA OREGON Tom Bedell travels the world and works with local mills, sourcing wood that is salvaged or sustainably harvested. Tonewood ideal for handcrafting extraordinary guitars. 3
4 EVERY BEDELL IS BUILT WITH THE HANDS OF EXTRAORDINARY CRAFTSMEN From the forest to your music, we appreciate the uniqueness of every piece of wood and optimize it accordingly. Using Sound Optimization we analyze the frequency and density of every soundboard, sanding it to the thinness that will deliver optimal sound. Every Bedell is Hand Voiced. No Bedell is delivered until we have achieved its ideal fundamental frequency. 1. It all begins in the forest. A tree may live hundreds or thousands of years, growing music wood. 2. Quarter sawing across growth rings, the life of each tree tells its own story...each tonewood set is unique. 3. Tracking individual tonewood sets, when possible, recording its tree, where it grew, its story. 4. Using the Sound Optimization Process, we learn the unique music character of every individual tonewood set, what style of play and body shape it is best suited for and what thinness it should be sanded to for the ideal deflection and performance. 4

7 THE BUILD 5. Each top and back is coupled for ideal musical efficiency. They are individually sanded to the appropriate thinness s to achieve their target frequencies. 6. Braces and tonebars are applied for structure, tone, and sound. 7. Using FFT software we Hand Voice to targeted frequencies for tonal balance and maximum sound. 8. The binding and fine sanding completes the body. 9. The neck is hand sanded for profile and comfort. 10. A thin finish is applied with a hand-held spray gun, with repeated sanding and spraying. 11. The guitar is completed by attaching the compound tapered dovetail neck, lining up the bridge, and fine tuning the set-up into a musical instrument. 12. Sound Quality Assurance measures the weight and fundamental frequency. If the sound target has not been achieved, we remove the strings and reach through the soundhole to perform additional carving on the braces. 7
8 THE CUSTOM SHOP We welcome you to visit our Bedell Custom Shop in Bend, Oregon. Our collection of exotic tonewoods come from all over the world, highlighted by our exclusive treasure of legally documented Brazilian rosewood. We fit your guitar to you, your playing style and your music. With our sound optimizing processes, we define the body shape, deflection (feel) and sound that matches your music. Just as no two pieces of wood are the same; neither are two players. 8
