Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent (neck reset and refinished at Bourgeois October 2020)
This incredibly special guitar came to us in great, but played in conidtion. A guitar of this sort of deluxe quality deserved the deluxe treatment so we sent it back to our friends at Bourgeois to refinish and reset the neck and our in-house luthier dressed and replaced the first 7 frets. Adorned with buckets of Brazilian Rosewood and topped with Dana's perfectly selected Adirondack Spruce with Aged Tone treatment, this is just about the finest Slope D you could hope for. Complex and warm, perfect proportions and construction.
SP Luthier Notes: Setup, replaced first 7 frets, and fret dress

From Bourgeois Guitars
Versatile, with an open, singing voice.
Our slope shouldered dreadnought is only about 1/4" wider than a standard dreadnought, but what a difference! Voiced for a more open, though less driving, sound than the Dreadnought, the Slope D happily accommodates a wide variety of playing styles including country, blues, old timey, pop, contemporary, and--you name it. And if you're a fingerstyle player looking for a dreadnought-sized guitar that can handle fingerpicks or bare fingers as well as flatpicks, the Slope D is definitely your guitar! The Slope D is also available as a Slope D, 14 Fret, 25” short scale: Relaxed playability; warmer than the long scale version, without significant loss of volume.
