SOUND FILES OF SOME BOURGEOIS GUITARS.  

We would like to thank Eddie Berman and Dave Bartholomew of Indoor Storm  for the MP3's of the guitars below.  Through these sound samples,
 we hope you will get an idea of the sound of Bourgeois guitars.  

We will add more MP3's as we get them and hope to build a fine sound library. 

Eddie Berman is responsible for the beautiful playing below.  Dave Bartholomew did the recording.   

 

Here is the set-up: 
2 AKG C3000 microphones straight into a Mackie 2404 into an IBM Aptiva running Cool Edit 2000.  No Compression,  No EQ, the EQ on the board is set to flat.

Dave says: "I run the mics hard left, and hard right.  I monitor thru JBL EON 110's. They sound kinda bad, but they do the trick."

NOTE:  Most of the below guitars are sold but through the samples
you can get an idea of what the various models sound like.
