special. Not to mention this heavily bearclawed

#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

veneer. The fingerboard and belly bridge are Brazilian
Rosewood. Premium Firestripe pickguard.

the 2009 NAMM Show. When the label was put on this guitar

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

|
#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.
