Sound Pure's Take
A stunning Aged Tone 12 Fret slope Dread we were fortunate enough to snag from Bourgeois on the fly, this Torrefied Sitka/Sinker 'hog dread beats the pants off anything the capital "M" folks are doing these days. Big bass that doesn't compromise balance; throaty, punchy midrange; trebles that sing like birds. Anybody got a flatpick?
From Bourgeois Guitars
Our Aged Tone models blend vintage appearance, a new vintage-style finish, Dana’s exclusive approach to voicing, and a unique method of tonewood curing.
