Bourgeois D Large Soundhole Aged Tone

Our tribute to the great Tony Rice and his 1935 D-28, the most famous flat top of all time.

The Bourgeois Large Soundhole D incorporates many of the features that bluegrass flatpickers search for in those "Holy Grail" pre-war dreadnoughts. The enlarged soundhole, special rosette, custom pickguard and blank, bound 21-fret fingerboard capture the proper authentic aura for this specialty model. Dana has also incorporated the hallmarks of his own current designs, including our Aged Tone™ torrefied top, braces and Aged Tone™ finish. The result is a more of a tribute than a replica and we feel it makes the perfect bluegrass guitar. Many have remarked that these Large Soundhole Ds are louder and slightly more open than the standard dreadnoughts, while still maintaining the Dana's signature balance and clarity. With the inclusion of the Aged Tone™ package as a feature for this model, these instruments have a strikingly "vintage" sound that is sure to thrill many a flatpicker dreaming of owning their own pre-war "bone".
