Beard Resonator Cone in Crafters Tut Taylor Tennessean?

Post by Alan Kirk »

Just wondering if anyone might know if the Beard Resonator Cone (10-9/16" diameter, 1-13/32 deep) will drop right into a Crafters Tut Taylor Tennessean square neck.

Thanks

Alan, I have Beard Legend cone in my Crafters Virginian guitar and it was a drop-in fit.

OK, I give up, what exactly is your avatar? A hat that is smashed?

I have a TN-01 model Tennessean made by Crafters of Tennessee and can verify that the Beard cone is an exact fit (and made it sound even better).

Thanks for all the responses.

I sucked it up and took the thing apart and measured. The beard will fit in nicely.
