Bourgeois

  This Custom Build Banjo Killer is a standard square shouldered dreadnought with a premium bearclaw Sitka spruce top and figured mahogany back and sides. Square headstock shape. The bracing for this guitar is modeled after Bryan Sutton’s famous Bourgeois dubbed the “Banjo Killer". The fingerboard and belly bridge are figured ziricote wood. The Tor-tis pickguard is handmade, and the bridge pins are ebony with abalone dots. The tuners are Nickel Waverly with ivoroid buttons.
  Bryan Sutton has this to say: "From the first time I played the Slope-D Bourgeois that would come to be known as the "Banjo Killer", I was amazed at the range of tone and volume the guitar could produce. The guitar always seems to be to able to handle any dynamic level of play. I can hear the guitar clearly in a loud jam session without feeling like I have to overplay and also enjoy a full and sustained tone when I want to play softly.”

The Large Soundhole Dreadnought is a flatpicking cannon inspired by some of our favorite bluegrass legends. Featuring a Sitka Spruce top, and beautiful Indian Rosewood back & sides, this guitar has an extra dose of projection and maintains all of the punch of Bourgeois' standard Dreadnoughts.

 Upgraded with Bourgeois' full Aged Tone package.
 Bourgeois' newly designed Country Boy, built around the things that dreams are made of. They kept everything that worked and upgraded the rest. An Adirondack Spruce top provides the ideal stiffness to weight ratio yielding you even more projection and sustain. Animal Protein Glue is used to adhere their very best selection of tone woods together, giving your guitar an extra kick of tonal perfection.
