Country
Boy Dreadnought

click on any photo for a closer look.
Mahogany has a quick velocity of sound, relatively lightness of weight, and
noticeable midrange overtone attenuation. As a result, mahogany guitars have
their own sound. Warm, dry, woody, not particularly complex, but direct,
lively, and famously easy to record.
Mahogany guitars are often looked at as poor cousins of rosewood guitars,
but we politely disagree, dressing the Country Boy in classic appointments
such as ebony fretboard and bridge, wooden rosette, tortoiseshell
binding and nickel Waverly tuners. We also consider it
worthy of the same diamond volute that we use on the back of our Vintage
Dreadnought peghead. In addition to selecting only the finest quartersawn
and matched South American mahogany backs and sides, the Country Boy
Dreadnought is appointed with an extra-premium sitka spruce top (Red
"Adirondack" Spruce is a popular option for this model)
When Ricky Skaggs suggested the name "Country Boy" for our mahogany dreadnought, we all fell on the floor. We still wonder where he got such a
great idea for a name!
Except
as noted, all Bourgeois models include the following features:
25.5" Scale Length, One piece Mahogany Neck, Bone Nut
& Saddle, Ebony Fretboard & Bridge, High Gloss Body and
Satin Neck Finish, Mother of Pearl Bourgeois headstock inlay,
Bourgeois Premium Tortoiseshell style pickguard, Ivoroid Bridge Pins
and
End Pin, Deluxe Hardshell Case and a Limited Lifetime Warranty.
A variety of optional tonewoods, appointments, hardware and finishes
are also available.
OPTIONS: The
most popular option on the Country Boy is the addition of Red
Adirondack Spruce. Hide Glue is another great addition to this
model.
