Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The right-handed PBS-8 combines eight strings with traditional squareneck construction. Its mahogany body and neck, rosewood fingerboard, Paul Beard open soundwell, and genuine US-made Beard cone and spider bridge make up the resonator platform. The flat, wide fingerboard is described for double stops, triple stops and alternative chord voicings, while the two highest strings extend the available solo and chord options. It has a 25-inch scale, 19 frets, cream binding, and an included hardshell case.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Steel guitar-style solos and chords that use the PBS-8’s two additional high strings.
- Double stops, triple stops and expanded chord voicings on the flat squareneck fingerboard.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players seeking a six-string layout; the PBS-8 is built with eight strings.
