Absolute wizardry from our favorite Maine luthier! All of Dana's Signature models are superlative (and how could they not be? He takes them from start to finish!) in every way but, just as importantly, they've got soul and personality right out of the case. This particular 12 fret dread? Sort of like a D28S that opted for the deep, dark serenity of the Maine interior over the bright lights and honky tonks of the big city. That Cocobolo sounds even more dramatic than it looks--miles deep bass, strong low mids, and sparkling sustaining highs. The already overtone heavy tonewood combination is strengthened and solidified by the 12 fret to the body construction. We've never heard anything like it and won't be forgetting it any time soon!
Bourgeois Guitars are defining the future of vintage tone, combining old-world hand-voicing techniques with modern innovations in design and materials. Built in a ca. 1850s mill in the industrial town of Lewiston Maine, master luthier Dana Bourgeois and his small team of highly skilled craftsman produce some of the finest steel-string instruments available today. Known for tonal excellence, meticulous craftsmanship and top-notch materials, they are played by six-string luminaries such as Bryan Sutton, Ricky Skaggs, Sean Watkins, Della Mae, the late Doc Watson and countless professional and nonprofessional enthusiasts. Bourgeois guitars have had a prominent role in the American steel-string guitar renaissance for more than two decades, helping shape acoustic music’s most recent rise in popularity.
