Beardsell Guitars

Ten-year GAL member Allan Beardsell is a former student of Sergei DeJonge. He wasted his teens and twenties as a musician, and turned to guitar making as a way to get guitars cheap. Realizing his mistake, he started selling them to support the habit. He’s the provincial fencing champ in men’s épée, and plays in a kick-ass rock band, the DeadBeatles.
