What We Think
From the classic combination of deep, dark East Indian Rosewood and incomparable Adirondack spruce, to the small details like the herringbone top trim and Nick Waverly tuners, this Dread oozes heritage and authenticity. Flatpickers can expect to smile, laugh, and fall over backwards when this thing gets going. Lively is an understatement--this guitar has a soul of its own! Traditional fiddle lines and other classic bluegrass tunes dance and skip--it's a guitar that feels like it enjoys being played. If you're looking for a classic bluegrass instrument with all the trappings and feel of a beautifully preserved piece of vintage Americana, the Vintage D will do nothing short of inspire you--that goes for the price, too!
Manufacturer's Description from Bourgeois
Our most popular model ever, the Vintage Dreadnought in Adirondack and Indian Rosewood.
Adirondack spruce, also known as Eastern Red Spruce, was the legendary top wood used on most pre-war American-made guitars. Properly sawn, Adirondack is much stiffer than Sitka and Engelmann spruce, both along and across the grain. This allows us to make thinner, lighter tops, resulting in lightning-quick response and power to spare. Most guitar grade "Adirondack" spruce these days comes from our own backyard--the state of Maine, which still has large stands of original and second growth softwood forests.
To maintain a vintage look, we select only the highest grade of East Indian rosewood, perfectly matched and quartered with tight, straight grain and darker-than-average color. (Though Brazilian rosewood isn't a standard feature, it is our most popular custom upgrade). To round out the visual package, the Vintage Dreadnought also features herringbone top trim, ivoroid body binding, slotted squares and diamonds inlay, premium tortoiseshell pickguard and nickel Waverly tuners.
If the best thing about our Vintage Dreadnought is the Adirondack top that comes standard, the next best feature must be the price.
Take a moment to compare appointments. We don't think you'll find a better value in an Adirondack topped, traditionally - styled dreadnought!
