We hosted fingerstylist extraordinaire Pete Huttlinger for a concert a while back and he proudly showed us his Bozung J guitar. He proceeded to play it in the show and we immediately understood why so many of our customers were telling us about Chris Bozung's CB guitars. Chris builds a wonderfully traditional style guitar with a clear, articulate voice that's full and powerful. We asked him to give this one an old fashion sunburst, bound headstock and to dress it up just enough to be stunning. The Brazilian here is old growth and top notch, salvaged from an old Beam in Brazil and the top is premium Adirondack. We are proud to offer this our first Bozung guitar.

Player Reviews:
"We custom ordered this beauty after seeing Pete Huttlinger's Bozung. Chris outdid himself on this guitar, it's breathtakingly beautiful and sounds as good as it looks. The Brazilian is top notch and paired here with Adirondack it has that roaring prewar sound. It's versatile enough for fingerstyle or flatpicking and we gave it wider spacings so you can do both well. This is a stunning guitar, our first of many Bozungs." - Paul Heumiller
"This is one of the most impressive new guitars that I've had the pleasure to play. Its tone is rich and controlled. I love it." - Al Petteway
