What We Think

Conditon: Used, 

Inspired by look and sound of Martins "Golden Era," this guitar is a prime example of Dana's talent for taking the revered pillars of American guitar building and raising the roof that much higher.  The dynamic range of this instrument and the degree of note separation found therein is absolutely stunning.  The Rosewood back/sides offer tears-in-your-eyes bass, a shimmery but not overly bright top end, and the rich, overtoney drama you'd want out of a Rosewood dread.  That Sitka top is one in a million--torrefied to lend the instrument greater openness and warmth.  10/10!

SP Luthier Notes: 

Manufacturer's Description from Bourgeois

Our most popular model, the square shoulder pre-War style Dreadnought delivers ample power to cut through any performance situation. Featuring Dana's unique, single-scalloped X brace system, our Dreadnought has become a bluegrass classic, offering a blend of balance and clarity absolutely required for flatpicking, highly desirable for most other styles of playing, but rarely found in a contemporary dreadnought.
