Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
SP Luthier Notes: A neck reset was performed to restore proper neck angle and action. A setup was completed. All frets were leveled, re-crowned, and polished. No further work required.
The Bourgeois Banjo Killer is a striking boutique acoustic designed for players who crave clarity, punch, and unmistakable character. Its bear claw Sitka spruce top paired with figured mahogany back and sides produces a lively, articulate voice with strong projection and crisp note definition—perfect for driving rhythms and expressive lead work. Elegant touches like a ziricote fingerboard and bridge, ivoroid binding, and a high-gloss finish highlight Bourgeois’ exceptional craftsmanship. With its signature double-scalloped “Banjo Killer” bracing, this guitar offers remarkable responsiveness and power, making it an inspiring, investment-grade instrument built to stand out for years to come.
