Adirondack. It is loud and has got the best of what
Indian Rosewood has to offer. Here's a picture of Doc
Watson playing his Custom D Cutaway at Merlefest this
year. What else can I say...a picture is worth a
thousand words. Check with Spruce

#4830. Our very first LEFTY Short
Scale Slope D ! Mahogany & Adirondack. Dana's
Sunburst and Snakehead headstock. Very cool.
|
#4998. Vintage Varnish
Mahogany D
Custom (V2M- D) Vintage vibe with a totally state of the art
build. It needs a heavy player to take it home.
Varnish is not for the feint of heart. It takes some
coddling, but it is worth it. Add in
this set of Figured Beeswing that
Dana squirreled away just for something this
special. Not to mention this heavily bearclawed
Adirondack top. One of a kind. The rest of the specs are as
follows: Square
headstock. 1 3/4” nut. 2 & 5/16” Ebony belly
bridge. Ebony
wood body binding. Wood
rosette. Black line backstrip. Vintage dot inlay. Nickel

pins. This guitar was
built for a mighty player.

#5007. Dana Bourgeois Signature OM in Premium Madagascar Rosewood and Premium Adirondack with Flamed Koa body binding.
Built for 2009 Summer NAM Show. A beautiful "In-Between" Custom Sunburst.
Mad RW is frequently mistaken for Brazilian in both appearance
and tone. As a Signature model, Dana is careful to pick
the woods for tone but this one has it all -great looks and
great tone. We've made this one even more unique with a hand-sprayed by Dana Bourgeois burst. Certified Fossil Ivory Squares & Diamonds inlay. Gold Waverly tuners with Snakewood buttons, Bone pins and a premium
pickguard.

#5002. Vintage OO. NEW
MODEL !
NASHVILLE NAMM SHOW GUITAR. Adirondack &
Richly colored Indian
Rosewood. Incredibly comfortable to play
with a great big sound that stays sweet even when you play it
hard. This is the guitar that will make me
put down my 1959 00-18. I'm really excited about
it. Traditionally appointed exactly like a Vintage D.
|
#4983. Prototype. 14 Fret
Short Scale (25") OO in Adirondack and Mahogany.
This is a small guitar with a big, sweet mouth. And look
at the adirondack. Perfect. I can't begin to say
how excited I am to introduce this new model prototype.
I have been asking Dana to build this guitar since 1989.
That's a long time to wait. But, it was worth it.
This guitar is gonna rock your world. Really.

Oval buttons. Mammoth Ivory nut , bone saddle and Ebony

color. Steve Miklas was bending our ear last year to

something a little more vintage with very little flash. Give him a call at Acoustic
Music Works to learn more. This one is
sold but he has another on order...

#4752. BK
Slope D (The Banjo Killer). Bearclaw Sitka & Figured
Mahogany. Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard, bridge and
headstock. Custom hand-made Firestripe pickguard.
Custom sprayed Dana Bourgeois "Pale Burst".
Dana says: "
The BK Slope D has a deep, broad tone. Through wood selection
and voicing, we push it in the direction of a bigger bottom
end, a "lush" top end, and greater volume, similar
to the characteristics of Bryan's original BK. When I first
started making slope shouldered Dreadnoughts, I went for
something as different as possible from the balanced and
focused sound of my standard Dreadnought. The Banjo Killer
gets me back to that original idea."
|
#4887. Left
Handed DB Signature D in Madagascar Rosewood and
Adirondack. Dana's signature Herringbone trim includes
the top border, rosette and back strip. Fossil Ivory
Squares and Diamonds, Gold Waverly tuners, Curly Maple body

no binding on the neck or on the Brazilian Rosewood Headstock
veneer. The fingerboard and belly bridge are Brazilian
Rosewood. Premium Firestripe pickguard.
|

Mahogany Varnish & Hot Hide Glue. NEW MODEL PROTOTYPE from
the 2009 NAMM Show. When the label was put on this guitar
we still conceived it as some sort of Country Boy -
the very
first Varnish guitar to be offered. By the time we got

varnish finish. In keeping with the Vintage vibe: Ebony body binding, butt wedge and heel cap.

bearclawed Adirondack top. Rosewood body binding.
Gold Waverly tuners. Bourgeois custom made pickguard.
The back and sides are Acacia, otherwise known as
"California Koa" and is ringy like the Koa we love
best. The top is some of the best sounding Red spruce
we've had in awhile. AND, the folks at Morgan Music
really know Bluegrass Guitars. They were our biggest
dealers in 2008 and have made it their business to carry only
the best bluegrass instruments. When Alvin Deskins told
me that he loved this one, I knew we'd hit a home run.

#4470. Custom Dread with Premium Brazilian and Premium
Adirondack. Tortoiseshell Body, neck and head
binding. Here is something different. Our friends
at Martin Music ordered picked out this set of Brazilian and
trimmed it in our Tortoiseshell binding with a purfling of the
tiniest white/ black line to set it off. These little
things are what makes a difference. Check out the figure
in the Brazilian headstock veneer and the deep, rich
pattern picked to show off the Tortoise binding on the
thick Premium Tor-tis pickguard. Did you know that Dana
decides these details? Along with the big decisions
(like which set of top wood gets matched with which back
wood), he decides which headstock veneer and which
pickguard would best compliment the overall look.

#4070. Custom Slope D . The Bourgeois Blues. The Bourgeois Blues is an all mahogany, modified ladder braced Jumbo, made for spanish and bottleneck style playing. The ladder bracing gives a big fundamental tone, long on midrange "honk" and short on overtones, the mahogany top a dry, whiny, "Paris, Texas", kind of voice. Though the action is set a little higher than our standard guitars to avoid rattling with the bottleneck, this guitar also works great
for spanish style playing, with a sound appropriate for honky tonk or country style blues. Steve Miklas at Acoustic Music
Works worked hard to come
up with the ultimate specs for this guitar. The Figured
Mahogany was picked for TONE as was the Brazilian
Rosewood fingerboard and bridge. Koa Binding on
the neck, head and body. Snakewood buttons on Gold
Waverly tuners.
