The Bourgeois Slope D Banjo Killer acoustic guitar, designed with the expertise of Bryan Sutton, is a formidable instrument that effortlessly lives up to its name. Its distinctive features include a double scalloped X brace design, stiffer back bracing, and a 25.5” scale length, producing a tone as powerful as it is captivating. The guitar's top is made of Bearclaw Sitka Spruce and the body from figured Mahogany, finished with a unique “snakehead” headstock that completes its visually understated aesthetics. Further enhancing its elegance and playability are features such as a Ziricote head veneer with a Mother of Pearl logo, a fretboard and bridge made of Madagascar Rosewood, and 14 Fret Snake Honduran Mahogany neck. This model also boasts Waverly Nickel tuners with Ivoroid buttons, Ebony pins with Pearl Dot, and a Celluloid Tortoise pickguard. The guitar's natural top color, Ivoroid body binding, and Mother of Pearl inlays on the fretboard add to its classic charm. The Slope D Banjo Killer's unique blend of design, materials, and craftsmanship results in an instrument that delivers both exceptional sound and visual appeal. Mint condition.
