Bourgeois 00 Vintage

BRAND NEW!

OM balance in an ergonomically satisfying size.

The 00 has a voice all its own, warm but with a surprisingly punchy, direct sound. We think of it as the ultimate "couch potato guitar": Super comfortable to play, it's the one you'll keep nearby and gab whenever the urge strikes to croon Beatles songs, shred blues licks, or write a song. Take one to a jam and you may be surprised that you're not only heard but also listened to.

The best thing about our 00 Vintage is that you don't have to imagine what it might sound like if you custom ordered it with an Adirondack spruce top. Ours is the only standard herringbone - style dreadnought that can make this claim.

Adirondack spruce, also known as Eastern Red Spruce, was the legendary topwood used on most pre-war American-made guitars. Properly sawn, Adirondack is much stiffer than Sitka and Engelmann spruce, both along and across the grain. This allows us to make thinner, lighter tops, resulting in lightning-quick response and power to spare. Most guitar grade "Adirondack" spruce these days comes from our own backyard--the state of Maine, which still has large stands of original and second growth softwood forests.

To maintain a vintage look, we select only the highest grade of East Indian rosewood, perfectly matched and quartered with tight, straight grain and darker-than-average color. Rounding out the visual package, the 00 Vintage features herringbone top trim, ivoroid body binding, slotted squares and diamonds inlay, premium tortoiseshell pickguard and nickel Waverly tuners.

If the best thing about our 00 Vintage is the Adirondack top that comes standard, the next best feature must be the price. Take a moment to compare appointments. We don't think you'll find a better value in an Adirondack topped, traditionally - styled 00!
