Built for the 2016 NAMM Show, this Bourgeois Custom D Large Soundhole Dreadnought is a rare and exceptional instrument, crafted with top-tier tonewoods and premium appointments throughout. Featuring stunning Brazilian Rosewood back and sides with beautiful grain and color, paired with an Aged Tone Adirondack Spruce top, it delivers power, clarity, and openness. The Aged Tone finish, Banjo Killer bracing, and hide glue construction take the tone even further: dry, punchy, responsive, and wonderfully alive. It plays and sounds great!

Description

Details

  This guitar has been played, not parked in a case. It shows honest cosmetic wear throughout, consistent with regular use. There is a professionally repaired back crack, completed by Gruhn Guitars in Nashville - a common occurrence with Brazilian Rosewood. An LR Baggs Anthem pickup has been added, and a previous strap button hole remains on the treble side near the neck base (the button has since been moved to the heel cap). There is also finish wear on the back of the neck, though nothing that affects playability.
  It includes the original spec sheet and the Deluxe TKL hardshell case.
  This guitar originally retailed for $15,370 in 2016. A comparable build today would be approximately $24,000.
