Created in collaboration with legendary guitarist Bob Weir, the D’Angelico Premier Bob Weir Bedford Matte Stone stands as a bold evolution of the modern offset guitar. Its lightweight basswood body and matte stone finish exude understated sophistication, while the smooth contours and balanced feel make it ideal for long sessions and stage performance. Built with precision and inspired by Weir’s genre-spanning tone, this model embodies versatility, playability, and iconic D’Angelico craftsmanship.
The triple-pickup layout defines the Bedford’s sonic power. Two Seymour Duncan Designed stacked P-90 humbuckers provide full, noiseless output with vintage warmth, while the middle Seymour Duncan Designed SC-101 single-coil adds brightness and definition. With a 5-way selector, push/pull coil-split controls, and a blender knob, this instrument unlocks countless tonal combinations—from smooth jazz cleans to gritty rock punch. Every setting feels purposeful, offering studio-grade control for players who demand more from their tone.
Built for performance and comfort, the Premier Bob Weir Bedford Matte Stone features a slim “C” maple neck and ovangkol fingerboard with a 14″ radius for effortless playability. The 24.75″ scale provides a familiar feel with easy bends and sustain, while Grover 109 Super Rotomatic tuners ensure precision stability. A six-point tremolo bridge enables expressive vibrato control, complemented by chrome hardware and multi-ply cream binding for a refined finish. Elegant, flexible, and built to inspire, this guitar reflects the legacy of an icon and the craftsmanship of a brand rooted in New York excellence.
