Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

A textbook, worship-worthy OM from Bourgeois.  The model has always been a cornerstone and specialty of Dana's--this particular model is as good as that rare blend of old school and newschool gets with the additional tonal and cosmetic benefit of torrefied top, braces, and a particularly thin finish.  

SP Luthier Notes: Neck Reset, Fret Dress, Setup

From Bourgeois Guitars

Harkening back to our roots in vintage-inspired design, our Vintage model has for decades been a cornerstone of the Bourgeois brand. With a few changes, we’ve made the all new Vintage Heirloom. Imagine the fullness of East Indian Rosewood, paired with a premium Adirondack Spruce soundboard. Now add authentic prewar appointments and Animal Protein glue. The result will bring you back to the days before the term “vintage” applied to guitars.
