Anaheim NAMM Show Collection.

Custom Bourgeois Guitars made especially for the 2009 Winter NAMM show.  

NAMM is a very creative time for us.  We get to build some of the special things that we have been day-dreaming about all year long.  

This NAMM show is no exception. We were excited to debut our first of 2 new models:  The Very Vintage Mahogany Varnish with Hot Hide Glue and the much anticipated OM Short Scale !  Additionally, we have pulled out the stops to offer the best tone woods and to deliver  cheer us on into 2009.  The guitars below represent our efforts to  deliver great TONE to the world!
