Whether you need to cut through the band or just the tedium of the day, this mighty Slope won't let you down!  This Banjo Killer (a variant of Dana's Slope D) features a long scale and double scalloped bracing to offer the player additional power and clarity above the already focused punch native to Bourgeois' standard Slope Ds.  The top (and braces!) are torrefied for improved flexibility and lightness which translate to volume and a wonderful open quality that few brand new guitars reveal until months of playing have gone by.  That incredible figured Mahogany on the back and sides (nope, that's not Maple!) can be warm and full of breath or throaty and aggressive, depending on your right hand approach.  You and your flatpick will never be the same again!

Slope D

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.
