Bourgeois Standard D Burst

 
    Here is a beautiful Bourgeois Standard D Burst with some minor cosmetic shop wear that we are offering at a discounted sale price. The guitar has its full warranty looks and sounds great. Below is Dave Wrens original review on the Standard D model from Bourgeois!

    The Standard D model from Dana Bourgeois gets my vote for THE  best flattop guitar in its price point ... period!  This instrument consistently utilizes some of the nicest tonewoods I ever see on a dreadnought.  It displays all of the attention to detail that you would expect from a Bourgeois,  and each Standard D model has its top "tuned" by the maestro himself! 

     And what a top!!!  For a guy who uses a lot of Adirondack,  this man has one of the best stashes of Master Grade Sitka spruce in the world!  Dana explains his use of Sitka thusly: "Quartersawn Sitka is quite stiff along and across the grain; high stiffness, combined with the relatively light weight characteristics of most softwoods, is a recipe for high velocity of sound. A strong fundamental-to-overtone ratio gives Sitka a powerful, direct tone that is capable of retaining its clarity when played forcefully. Sitka is an excellent choice of topwood, then, for players whose style demands a wide dynamic response and a robust, meaty tone."
