One seemingly universal strength of Bourgeois guitars is the melding of the tried-and-true with the new. This 00-12 Vintage "Coupe" exemplifies this quality. The cutaway is the only giveaway that this is a modern guitar, considering the slew of classic aesthetic details like herringbone purfling and nickel Waverly "butterbean" tuners. The 12-fret design itself is a throwback to the guitars of the early 20th century. But you may notice it looks a bit different... Why's the soundhole look so big? Why's the bridge riding so low? Well, it's a 12-fret design, yes, but applied to a 14-fret body. So how does all that affect the sound? Brilliantly. Brassy mid presence, throaty bass and singing highs all culminate in a ridiculously well-balanced tone, and the string-to-string clarity is surprisingly precise while still allowing opportunities for pleasant overtones to ring out. Not to mention the dreamlike playability!
We are still in awe of the magnificent American Vintage guitars that inspired generations of players and helped produce diverse traditions of iconic American music. The Heirloom Series is our tip of the hat to the guitars that inspired our careers in lutherie and ignited our never-ending pursuit of the essence of yesteryear’s sound and vibe.
