Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent. The original owner had it for less than one month!

SP Luthier Notes: A majority of frets showed evidence of play wear. As such, the frets were leveled, recrowned, and polished back to a near mint state. The guitar required an adjustment to the truss rod, nut, and bridge to be brought to a perfect level of playability. No further work was required.

From Bourgeois Guitars

The 000 is identical in body size to the 14 fret OM, though with a short scale, 25” neck and a narrower, 1 23/32” width nut. A short scale length brings the nut a little closer to the player, slightly reduces string tension and improves ease of playability, though at the expense of modestly reduced single-note power and presence. Why do we offer such seemingly minute variations on a similar theme? Because the 14 fret 000 has been favored for generations as a go-to instrument for vocal accompaniment. 

A cornerstone of the Bourgeois lineup for decades, the Vintage model features hand selected Spruce and the highest available grade of East Indian Rosewood. Marrying an undeniably vintage aesthetic with modern innovations such as a dual action truss rod and our proprietary detachable neck joint, your guitar is designed to resemble the “pre-war” relics, while maintaining an unparalleled level of playability.
