A magnificant Bourgeois 00-14 Custom Wood Deluxe built by Dana Bourgeois Guitars in Lewiston, ME. As a part of the Aged Tone collection this beauty is a small body, big tone guitar. Awesome all rounder!
This Bourgeois 00-14 fret Custom Wood Deluxe in East Indian Rosewood and a torrified Adirondack Red Spruce top has a clear and punchy voice with a tremendous dynamic range. With a light touch she will release delicate tones with a stong base fundamental and warm mid and high notes. When hit hard she is loud without breaking up. This guitar is another great example of Dana Bourgeois unique talent when it comes to tuning guitars! Dana Bourgeois has been designing and building acoustic guitars for over thirty years. He has often lectured on the subject, and has written several influential articles on various aspects of the guitar building art, most notably about tonewoods, and about the voicing and bracing of acoustic guitars.
The Wood Deluxe package begins by combining a great sounding topwood with a complimentary back & side set. Indian rosewood is one of the most popular tone woods of all time. The iconic sound is heard on thousands of recordings. Here, it is paired with Adirondack Red Spruce top. Adirondack is the topwood used on the most treasured of the pre-war American guitars. Part of the appeal of Indian rosewood is its versatility. It responds well to fingerpicking, flatpicking and strumming. It is warm, rich and responsive with clear highs and tight bass projection. Adirondack has the highest volume ceiling of any of the spruces and delivers clarity of tone at all dynamic levels. Together you have the perfect start for an incredibly wide range of playing styles, from bluegrassers to singer-songwriters.
The Wood Deluxe gives you an opportunity to own this combination with wood appointments. Our all wood rosette and our own DB backstrip are matched by a wood butt wedge. Curly Koa wood binding surrounds the body. Gold Waverly tuners and Abalone squares and diamonds give just a touch of sparkle. This is an elegant take on an iconic shape.This beauty comes with a very comfortable 43.7mm neck. In combination with the short scale and is in MINT condition with almost no playwear and signs of use and just some very small dings in the top finish. The original Deluxe hardshell case is included.
