Sound Pure's Take
Another flawless instrument from Bourgeois! The fit, finish, and feel alone are enough to stun. But the voice on this short scale, slope shoulder, Adirondack/Mahogany instrument is capable of beguiling just about any player, working in any style. The slight loss of articulation that happens in the move from a long scale to a short scale is wonderfully balanced by the Addy's crisp, clean response and insistent sustain. In turn, the warmth and gutsy-ness (if you push it!) is supplemented by a gorgeous set of Mahogany and its glowing, direct response. Truly versatile in feel and voice!
From Bourgeois Guitars
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.
