As another exciting option within its Performance Series, Bedell Guitars® has introduced the Monitor Series featuring an auxiliary rosewood-trimmed sound port on the treble upper bout to help performers hear and feel every note.

"Just about everyone who plays an acoustic guitar finds themselves angling their instrument upward from time to time to hear its true sound," explained Tom Bedell, designer and creator of Bedell Guitars, a division of Two Old Hippies™. "By adding the auxiliary sound port, the performer can better monitor what they're playing because the sound is directed upward precisely into their ears."

Designed for the serious songwriter/performer, the Monitor Series comes in four cutaway models - two dreadnoughts and two orchestras - each with a Fishman electric pickup. "People tell us they love this option," added Bedell. "It's especially good for those on stage because amps and speakers can often overpower what the performer hears coming out of the guitar."

The Monitor Series is available in combinations of premium AAA seasoned Canadian red cedar and Alaska Sitka spruce tops and Indian rosewood and African sapele back and sides. From solid woods comes solid sound.

"The Monitor Series is a blend of old world craftsmanship and technical innovation and delivers a complex variety of tones," said Bedell. "Just plug it in and let the creativity flow."
