1994 Bourgeous Dreadnought – £2299

NEW ARRIVAL  Bourgeois are one of the best high end acoustic guitar builders in the US, producing genuinely hand made guitars from Maine, New England. This very early example is a real rarity, the serial number being 000150, making it from only the second year of guitars Dana Bourgeois produced. Simply called ‘Dreadnought’ on the label, it has a similar body shape as his famous ’Slope D’ series. It features an Adirondack Spruce top, with Honduras Mahogany back and sides, and Rosewood fingerboard and bridge. There are a some classy touches such as the fully bound fingerboard, Abalone rosette and very striking back seam. He’s kept the visuals classic, and the tone is something else – it has incredible presence and bass response, yet retains a good balance with strong midrange and bright powerful trebles. It’s very responsive for fingerstyle playing as well as powerful rhythm bass lines. The guitar’s in very good condition, with one lacquer crack on the top that doesn’t go through the wood, and a wear patch where your right arm sits. The feel and playability are great, and comes in it’s original hard case.
