I have not, but I asked Beard about what is involved. I also asked if the rollers on the roller nut were gauged.

Here is their reply:

Hey, I see you edited it to add Road-o-phonic - I don't think it matters, though - techniques would be the same. I've seen Road-o-phonics with the Hipshot Doubleshot on them.

I was thinking it's possible since this model has the same tailpiece as a spider bridge resonator?

And it is.

Here's one for sale at the Guitar Sanctuary in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. $3550 - yikes! If you already have the guitar when the DoubleShot becomes available again it would be a cool addition. Obviously you should check with Beard to see if mounting it on a biscuit bridge guitar comes with additional complications.

If you don't own the guitar yet in my book I'd go for an acoustic/electric Beard Copper Mountain with the DoubleShot. But it of course depends on your usage The Road-O-_Phonic is nice and compact, and has a different unplugged sound.

Here is the link to the listing at Guitar Sanctuary:
