Tom Bedell began importing guitars from Japan in the mid-1960s under the Bedell name when he was just 14 years old. After leaving the music industry and working as a political consultant and for the Pure Fishing Company, Bedell and his wife bought The Great Divide guitar shop in Aspen, Colorado. They renamed it Two Old Hippies, and Bedell began importing guitars again under the Bedell name. Bedell currently offers a full line of acoustic guitars ranging from $900 to $2,300 in price. For more information, visit Bedell's website or contact Two Old Hippies directly.
