| Have you ever seen a set of figured tropical
mahogany like this? The astonishing thing about this wood is
not just the amount of figure, but the DEPTH of the figure,
the beautiful symmetry of the bookmatching and the absolutely stunning
rich colour!!!
Just as impressive as the dramatic back
& sides set is the even, creamy colour of this premium Adirondack
top! Red spruce in the dimensions needed for guitar wood is
extremely difficult to procure but Dana Bourgeois seems to ferret out the
most desirable tonewoods!
I absolutely love the sound of mahogany
guitars and for years have felt it was very very underrated as a tonewood.
Mahogany in the hands of a gifted luthier such as Dana Bourgeois gives
remarkable sonic results as this guitar attests. This particular
instrument has especially articulate trebles that are supported by a PUNCHY
low end!!! |
