Beaver Creek 3/4 Size
Introducing the Beaver Creek 3/4 Size Dreadnought, a purpose-built steel-string guitar from the 601 Series that blends a full, resonant voice with learner-friendly playability. The BCTD601BB is thoughtfully scaled for growing players, delivering a confident acoustic tone without overwhelming reach.
Designed on a 3/4 scale, this dreadnought preserves punch and projection while offering a comfortable, approachable feel for developing musicians. A Spruce top pairs with Agathis back and sides to produce a bright attack and warm sustain, making it versatile enough for everything from open chords to intricate fingerpicking.
The striking Blueburst finish highlights the wood grain and gives the instrument a modern, on-stage presence, whether you’re in a classroom, rehearsal space, or at home. A Nato neck with a Rosewood fingerboard ensures smooth hand positions and precise intonation as you build muscle memory and accuracy.
Hardware is reliable and straightforward, with Chrome die-cast tuning machines that hold tuning stability during practice and performance. This model emphasizes a pure acoustic experience—there are no built-in electronics, so you’ll hear your playing reflected directly in the guitar’s natural voice.

Who is this guitar for?
The BCTD601BB is ideal as a young student’s first guitar, and it also serves as a seamless transition instrument between smaller beginner models and a full-size acoustic. If you’re moving up from a 1/2 or 3/4 size, this guitar preserves the familiar feel while unlocking a fuller dreadnought voice and expanded fret access that makes chord shapes and strumming patterns easier to master.

Playability, tone, and everyday use
The 3/4 size body offers a comfortable playing experience for younger players or anyone with a smaller frame, while the dreadnought silhouette preserves punch and projection when you strum. The spruce top paired with agathis back and sides yields a crisp top end and a present midrange—perfect for learning rhythm, strumming, and chord memory. With no onboard electronics, you’ll enjoy a direct, uncolored acoustic response that rewards precise picking and clean chord changes.
Practical tips for new players
- Posture and fretting: Maintain relaxed posture and light fretting pressure to maximize comfort on a smaller-scale neck.
- Transport: Pair with a standard guitar case (sold separately) for safe trips to lessons or jams.
- Tuning & strings: Check tuning stability after the first few weeks—die-cast tuners provide reliable performance under normal playing conditions. Consider light gauge strings to ease finger pressure as you build strength.
- Care: Store in a controlled environment to protect the spruce top and overall tone.
