One of a five-piece limited run!
The combination of Redwood and Walnut always brings a smile to players looking for a guitar featuring balance, clarity, and a warm, "woody" tonal signature. What does a leaner body depth add to the mix? Turn an imaginary "presence" knob up a couple notches, and you'll get the idea.
The Redhead LE introduces several new features, including a Celtic-inspired "Braided" rosette and silver fretboard inlays. Bourgeois' classic Snakehead headstock and Cocobolo bindings complete a simple but elegant package, at an attractive price point.

  The "Large Soundhole" made its first appearance on a Bourgeois dreadnought back in 2014 as a tribute to one of Dana Bourgeois' heroes. We were immediately impressed with the tonal flavor it lent our standard design, begging the obvious question; What would a Large Soundhole on our OM sound like?
  Introducing the "Large Soundhole" OM, Bourgeois' latest in a long run of vintage-inspired innovations. Since it's birth, the Large Soundhole OM has become an instant hit among flatpickers seeking smaller bodied alternatives. With striking tonal similarities to the Dreadnought, this acoustic offers improved ergonomics and accommodates a large diversity of playing styles. Featuring aesthetics associated with "holy grail" dreads, this model is a perfect representation of Dana's constant innovation of the Vintage flattop.

The Bourgeois Large Soundhole D incorporates many of the features that bluegrass flatpickers search for in those "Holy Grail" pre-war dreadnoughts. The enlarged soundhole, special rosette, custom pickguard and blank, bound 21-fret fingerboard capture the proper authentic aura for this specialty model. Dana has also incorporated the hallmarks of his own current designs, including Aged Tone torrefied top, braces and Aged Tone finish. The result is a more of a tribute than a replica, and Bourgeois feels that it makes the perfect bluegrass guitar. Many have remarked that these Large Soundhole Ds are louder and slightly more open than their standard dreadnoughts, while still maintaining their signature balance and clarity. These models have a strikingly "vintage" sound that is sure to thrill many a flatpicker dreaming of owning their own pre-war "bone".

To introduce the new Advanced Slope D, Bourgeois is offering a special limited edition of 12 guitars. It features Bourgeois's Aged-Tone Adirondack Spruce top, with Brazilian Rosewood back & sides, and a special inlay in the bridge wings. As always, all of the sunbursts are applied by Dana Bourgeois himself.

When Eric, (Our beloved leader) asked me to describe this guitar, I was quite frankly, intimidated.  I open the case and I was stunned.  How can mere words possibly do justice to this fine instrument?  We have a new Bourgeois Slope D-Advanced Limited Edition.  The top is Aged Tone Adirondack Spruce, back and sides are Brazilian Rosewood, (that's right, Brazilian), 14 frets clear of the body, Ebony peghead veneer, fingerboard is Guatemalan Rosewood, Waverly tuners, Sunburst finish on top, firestripe pickguard.  I wonder if it sounds any good?  Well, I'll be darned, it sounds phenomenal.  Why am I not surprised?  This is one of the best acoustic guitars we have had in a while. This guitar is stunning not only in looks but also tone, it's a work of art that will inspire future guitarists for many years.

 Those guys at Bourgeois know about loud, wow, this guitar is loud!  We are offering a new Bourgeois Slope D "The Standard" with an "Aged Tone" Adirondack spruce top and Mahogany back and sides. It's a fine, fine, super fine guitar.  It really is the standard all guitars should be judged by.  If you are familiar with late 40's early 50's Gibson J-50 and J-45 guitars, you'll know the sound I'm talking about, warm, rich, loud and succinctly brilliant.

Dana Bourgeois' passion for acoustic guitars was fostered by those coveted instruments built in the pre-war era. "The Standard" model was inspired by the classic designs that emerged from the midwestern United States at that time, but incorporates many elements of Dana's own design.

It starts with the striking Ziricote fretboard and bridge, beautiful in figure yet subtle enough to maintain the pre-war look. The single ring Ivoroid rosette and rectangular bridge hearken back to those old designs. Our contoured headstock was introduced with the L-DBO model, and fits the look perfectly!

"Un objeto de gran belleza"  That's a beautiful Spanish phrase isn't it? It means, "An object of great beauty". I can't think of anything that describes this guitar more eloquently and accurately. Where do I begin? This stunning instrument is a work of art that also happens to be an incredible guitar. It has a wonderful tone thanks in part to the Aged Tone Adirondack Top. Of course, the Brazilian Rosewood back and sides doesn't hurt either. This is a presentation model, like the beautiful presentation grade guitars and banjos made by the great instrument makers in the early 1900's. Instruments that were designed to represent the penultimate of the maker's art. The Bourgeois L-DBO-Presentation is that and more. This is as good as it gets, my friends.
