Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Very Good

SP Luthier Notes: The truss rod and bridge were fully adjusted. No further work was required.

Unearth the rich, resonant voice of this exceptional 2008 Country Boy Dreadnought, a true testament to masterful craftsmanship! With its vibrant Sitka Spruce top and deep Indian Rosewood back and sides, this guitar offers a tonal palette that’s both articulate and awe-inspiring. The ebony fretboard provides a silky smooth playing experience, while Waverly Nickel tuners ensure rock-solid tuning stability. Expertly set up with a fully adjusted truss rod and bridge, this instrument is not "as-is" but rather a supremely playable and absolutely rock-solid investment for any discerning musician. Its natural beauty, from the multicolor herringbone backstrip to the tortoiseshell binding, is simply captivating. Plug in and play with the integrated L.R. Baggs Element pickup! This isn't just a guitar; it's a legacy waiting to be played.

From Bourgeois Guitars

Mahogany has a quick velocity of sound, relatively lightness of weight, and noticeable midrange overtone attenuation. As a result, mahogany guitars have their own sound. Warm, dry, woody, not particularly complex, but direct, lively, and famously easy to record.

Mahogany guitars are often looked at as poor cousins of rosewood guitars, but we politely disagree, dressing the Country Boy in classic appointments such as ebony fretboard and bridge, wooden rosette, tortoiseshell binding and nickel Waverly tuners. We also consider it worthy of the same diamond volute that we use on the back of our Vintage Dreadnought peghead. In addition to selecting only the finest quartersawn and matched South American mahogany backs and sides, the Country Boy is appointed with an Adirondack spruce top (Sitka spruce is a popular option for this model).

When Ricky Skaggs suggested the name "Country Boy" for our mahogany dreadnought, we all fell on the floor. We still wonder where he got such a great idea for a name! Admittedly, depending on which Body Style is used with this traditional combination of spruce and mahogany, you can get pretty far removed from anything remotely "country" in look and sound. Over the years we have considered changing the name but we can’t, it was a gift!
