With a Bourgeois Custom model, you get the finest tonewoods, beautiful styling and the highest level of craftsmanship. This dreadnought is an instrument of exceptional class.

This Bourgeois Slope D features an oversized soundhole, giving the guitar a character all of its own. The increased airflow through the body brings out its tonal characteristics, resulting in more bass, clarity, responsiveness and volume than a traditional dreadnought. The body is crafted from beautifully figured maple, which forms a striking combination with the Adirondack spruce top. The top features a sunburst finish applied by Dana himself. Both tonewoods have also been treated with Bourgeois’ Aged Tone technology, a process designed to give the wood the tonal characteristics of a well-played instrument.

The body is framed by DB Signature herringbone purfling and ziricote binding. The binding around the top also incorporates a bevel for added playing comfort. The guitar features a neck with a 25.5-inch scale length, leading to a luxurious headstock with ziricote veneer and gold tuning machines fitted with snakewood buttons. Dana Bourgeois has been building guitars for nearly 40 years. He is internationally recognised as one of the leading authorities on voicing, selecting and working with the finest tonewoods. A custom model represents the very best in materials, styling and craftsmanship, and this dreadnought is an instrument of exceptional class.

The guitar shows some very light playwear and scratches on the top and body, along with a few small dings on the back of the headstock and the heel cap.

This guitar has been carefully inspected for condition and playability, then set up to our Gold Standard by a luthier. We make sure it arrives in your hands exactly as it should: sounding its best, playing effortlessly and ready to be enjoyed from the very first note.
