Two Old Hippies Announces Sale of Breedlove, Bedell Guitars
Two Old Hippies Guitars, LLC, parent company of Breedlove and Bedell Guitars, has completed the sale of the company to Nashville-based artists and music industry advocates Pete Mroz and Shannon Pollard.
This transition brings the company under the stewardship of two individuals who have each spent a lifetime immersed in music — as players, performers and stewards of the musical community.
Mroz, a nationally recognized singer-songwriter and former standout on NBC’s The Voice, has long been part of the Breedlove and Bedell family as an artist. In addition to his deep connection to songwriting, stage performance, and guitar culture, Mroz brings advanced business acumen to the role, shaped by his high-performing roles at brands like Ping Golf, Travis Mathew and FootJoy. His combined expertise in music and business positions him uniquely to help guide the next era of Breedlove and Bedell Guitars.
Pollard, grandson of country music icon Eddy Arnold and founder of Plowboy Records, is an entrepreneur with a focus on bespoke development. His career spans music, design and craftsmanship. Pollard brings a commitment to preserving musical legacy while creating space for new voices to emerge.
Together, Mroz and Pollard will carry forward the legacy built by Tom Bedell, his team and the generations that came before.
“We’re incredibly grateful to Tom Bedell and the entire team for creating this foundation and vision for us to build on,” Mroz said. “We can’t wait to get to know our partners, artists, community of players, and everyone who loves these instruments. This is a legacy we intend to honor and elevate.”
“We feel a deep sense of responsibility and are honored to help shape the future of these brands,” said Shannon Pollard. “This isn’t just a business venture — it’s a personal and passionate commitment to ensuring Breedlove and Bedell continue to inspire and serve players around the world.”
