Description
What makes this guitar special: A stunning, handcrafted piece with beautiful figuring and attention to detail throughout every inch of the instrument. This one-of-a-kind Bourgeois Custom features a rare Redwood top, which provides a tone that is warmer than spruce, but brighter than cedar-a truly gorgeous sound with ample projection and outstanding balance. This guitar was a Winter NAMM special in 2014, and as with all Bourgeois Customs-you won’t find another one like it! This piece is in excellent condition, with no scratches, chips, dings, or dents to speak of. Plus, it comes with a professional setup from our in-house luthier-so it will arrive ready to play.
Cosmetic condition: Excellent condition-no wear to speak of, save for some extremely minor pickwear on the pickguard, and some very light, almost unnoticeable fretwear.
Body: Beautifully figured walnut back and sides with dual cocobolo binding and checkered brown and cream purfling. Solid redwood top with 3-ring abalone rosette, ebony bridge, and tortoise pickguard. 14 5/8” lower bout width, with 3 7/8” depth. 10 7/8” upper bout width, with 3 1/4" depth.
Weight: 3lb, 15oz
Neck: Nicely figured 14-fret mahogany neck with diamond volute and double cocobolo bound ebony fingerboard. Headstock features a walnut overlay and open gear Waverly tuners with ebony buttons. Ebony fingerboard is in outstanding shape with no playwear, and frets are in virtually unplayed condition. 1 3/4" nut width, with 25” scale length. Neck is straight and truss rod is in full functioning order.
Playability/Tone: A wildly comfortable lap guitar with beautiful appointments and sound to match. Beautiful projection, with excellent tonal balance and blend. The highs are crisp, the lows are resonant, and the mids are resilient and warm.
Case: Original form fit hard shell case included.
