Eight Custom Bourgeois Guitars made especially for the 2009 Nashville NAMM show. 


We are experiencing a CREATIVE explosion during this, Dana's 35th year of building guitars! We really are having our own small guitar renaissance having just built the following:
O style
OO style 
Parlor 
and a new Small Jumbo that is yet to be named.

We want to give you more options. And we've worked hard to bring you  world of beautiful new shapes and sounds. 

We had lots of Bourgeois Players stop by our booth in Nashville to check out the new models including Bryan Sutton, Skip Cherryholmes (Cherryholmes), Scott Nygaard, flatpicking champ Scott Fore, Danick Dupelle (Emerson Drive), Andy Day and the great Harvey Reid.  
  

Each NAMM guitar is numbered and signed as Nashville NAMM 2008 instrument.

  #5001.  JOM Custom Cutaway.  Bearclaw Adirondack & Flamed Koa.  Abalone Rosette. Ziricote body binding with Soloist purflings and appointments. Tiny dot inlay.  Nickel Waverly tuners with Snakewood buttons.  And a set of  handmade Fossil Ivory pins thrown in for no extra charge (because Dana thought they looked so beautiful). The JOMC is Dana's own design and is one of the most versatile instruments we build.  This one is particularly nice.  On its way to our newest dealer, a new shop called Two Old Hippies in Aspen, Colorado!  Call Dan Mills to learn more.   

    #5007. Dana Bourgeois Signature OM in Premium Madagascar Rosewood and Premium Adirondack with Flamed Koa body binding. AND 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.  Give Steve Miklas at Acoustic Music Works a call to find out about this one!  A rich grown-up sound.  
#4974. Vintage D/ Brazilian & Rare Bearclaw Adirondack / DB Herringbone & Rosette / Hot Hide Glue and Oil Varnish. With Dana's own DB Herringbone purfling, rosette and backstrip.   Contact our friends at Rokkomann Inc.   

   
  #5005.  Custom OM / Short Scale - ALL Mahogany top, back and sides. NEW MODEL! We built the prototype for this guitar at the request of a good dealer and we loved it. It sounds exactly like we thought it would. Warm and tubby and 
makes you wanna play something different than what you usually play.

All Premium Mahogany. 14 Fret, 25" short scale. Tortoise binding. To round out the Vintage look: Ivoroid logo and dots (check it out), Vintage style Waverly Tuners and a great price to match the perfect simplicity of the design. Ziricote bridge to match the Ziricote headstock veneer.  Nice.

Notice the Ivoroid logo - vintage pattern dot inlays were used to round out the look.

Call Brian Wolf at Acoustic Music.org  and ask him to play this one for you!  SOLD 

   

#5002. Vintage OO.  NEW MODEL !  Adirondack & Richly colored Indian Rosewood.  You might think you don't want an Adi top on a 14 fret 25"scale 00.  That's what I thought.  But, then you probably don't know just how good Dana is at picking out the right top for the right guitar.  We were curious about this combination but it is really better than great. 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.  Call our friend Klem at Cathedral Music to find out more.  

#5004. OMS Custom Cutaway.  Slot head. 12 Fret. Redwood top & Figured Walnut.  With the simple appointments of our OMC. Black binding with an understated Black/Maple purfling, Three on a plate Waverly's with Ebony buttons.  One of a kind.  Wil & Julie at Spruce Tree Music are always excited by our special and rare offerings.  They took this one back to their shop.  Give them a call.  

  #5003 Small Jumbo.  Adirondack & Mahogany. Sunburst. NEW MODEL!  This is in the category of Old dog;  New tricks.  Rockin that Everly Brothers feel with a nice tight rhythm sound .  We thought it was gonna be great for Country and pop music.  Turns out, it sounds great with country blues fingerpicking and gets righteous when flatpicked.  Ask Scott Fore.  Rich, clean and loud. Another hit at the show.  Tony King of Brooks & Dunn couldn't put it down.  SOLD 

    #5006.  O Style.  Prototype.  European  spruce & Mahogany. Tortoise binding. Black/maple purfling and rosette. Tiny dot inlay.  Waverly nickel with oval buttons.  If you are  looking for something to cheer you up, this might just be it.  What a voice this little guitar has.  Just what the old tired arms needed to hold.  It was heralded at the show by both Bryan Sutton and Scott Fore.  Not a bad beginning. Call Guitar Vista and ask Stan Burg what he thinks about it!  He snapped it up for his great little shop in New Mexico.  SOLD

Each guitar carries our lifetime guarantee .
