| Dana Bourgeois always shows up to a NAMM trade
show with some very special guitars ... which is not easy to do when your
regular models are of such a high caliber already! So how do
your grab people's attention in a trade show environment? How about
selecting a top that is seasoned and flinty dry with an exceptional strength-to-weight
ratio and a magnificent display of hazelficte figure ... matched with a
spectacular set of rare figured quilted Sapale ... topped off with one
of THE most tasteful sunburst finishes I've ever seen!!!
It is the arresting good looks of this one that
grabs your attention ... and the sound that keeps it. Yes,
this model is called the Banjo Killer because of the way it cuts through
so effortlessly in the mix and yes it has a raw power that makes guitar
players a bit heady with the way it dominates in a band context ... but
that's not the whole story. Lighten up on your right hand attack
a bit and this guitar has all of the nuance, balance and overtone
complexity to satisfy the most demanding studio musician! |
