Dana Bourgeois says about Bryan Sutton:
"Over the course of my career I've been blessed to see my guitars used by a wide variety of fine players. I never thought I would be so lucky, however, to see them so closely identified with a player as brilliant as Bryan Sutton. "
Check out Bryan's 1st solo CD, Ready to Go.
Bryan's 2nd CD from Sugar Hill records was "Bluegrass Guitar". It will be hard to find a finer collection of traditional and contemporary tunes. Bryan uses his figured mahogany Country Boy on 11 of the 12 cuts. Take a listen to it HERE.
We get a lot of calls from people wondering about Bryan's guitars. Here are some of his guitars.

1. On the left is the famous " Banjo Killer" - It is a Natural Slope D with a bearclaw Sitka top and Mahogany back & sides. 2. Mahogany & Sitka OM that he uses mostly for fingerpicking. You can hear it on "Ready to Go". It is used for the solo on "The Water is Wide" and also on "Walk Among the Woods" and "The Good Deed" 3. His D-150 is one of his main bluegrass flat-tops with Brazilian back & sides and a Red Spruce (Adirondack) top. Whenever you hear flatpicking on "Ready to Go", the D-150 is what you are hearing! 4. Bryan has a Custom Sunburst Slope D with Indian Rosewood back & sides and an Adirondack top. Floral fingerboard. Listen for it on "When Love Comes to Town" on his solo CD.
In early 2006 we started production on The Banjo Killer Limited Edition after Bryan's original Bourgeois that he found in the window at George Gruhn's in Nashville. The first 30 were signed and numbered by both Dana Bourgeois and Bryan Sutton. We completed these 30 in November of 2006.

Although the cover shows him holding his original Country Boy Deluxe, what he plays on the entire DVD is his Brazilian D-150.
