FS/FT - Bourgeois Slope D Adirondack/Brazilian. ## SOLD ##
What's Hot
On a potentially expensive vintage guitar mission, and it genuinely f*king sucks to even consider parting with this, but here we are…. An absolute dream of a guitar. There really isn’t anything like an Adi/Braz dread, and this one is exceptional in every way. Powerful but balanced/refined, does absolutely everything from hard strumming to light finger picking.
In very good condition, usual light wear and small marks, plays effortlessly with low action and the sound is everything you expect it would be and more. A bit of fretwear in the first few, but I don’t notice it when playing, could maybe use a fret dress at some point. This does not need medium strings to deliver stunning tone, I actually think it is significantly better with 12’s as the top is so responsive. Circa 15 yrs old and has opened up beautifully, hard to imagine it could sound better, but no doubt it will do exactly that over the next 20/40/60 yrs! The woods are pretty exceptional, and whilst the Brazilian might be the first things to notice, the Adi top is just incredible, so tight grained with lots of cross silking, I have hardly ever seen Adi like this.
Bourgeois are still made in relatively low numbers compared to many other boutique brands (Collings/SCGC etc), and as far as I am aware Dana Bourgeois has voiced the tops of every guitar that left the factory. There is something consistently great to me in the way Bourgeois’ sound, and I have had a fair few, I find them a level above similar priced brands, but all personal taste of course.
A proper acoustic for life, heirloom guitar, for your great grandkids to either cherish or sell for drugs in years to come.
Priced at £5,900 and could be interested in guitars in trade (ideally vintage Fender but maybe others), cash either way as required.

@GRBaldwin Mostly interested in buying vintage gear at the minute, but drop me a PM with what you had in mind.
