Bourgeois Guitars, 2008 Slope D SS, Short Scale Acoustic Guitar

Bourgeois introduced this SS, Short Scale, model in 2007 as this spec has been their most requested model recently. It offers all the warm, sweet, full tone and relaxed playability you'd expect from a vintage short scale instrument but with the balance and note to note clarity found on all Bourgeois guitars. This one is like new with a gorgeous Sunburst and contrasting Ivoroid Bindings and buttons for a dressed-up vintage vibe. The tone is all there, Dana's usual big, round bass and soaring trebles.

  • Comments: "This is a great tribute to the old Gibson and Martin guitars. It's big and full with lots of midrange as well. The perfect mix of the two guitar legends. Just a wonderful instrument to play. The sunburst is perfectly done as well." - Al Petteway

    "We are getting more and more request for short scale instruments as many players realize just how much easier they are to play but also the sweetness it adds to the voice. I've always loved Dana's dreads and I really love sunburst slope shoulder guitars, they just speak to me. This one is stunning and has a voice that's clear and articulate. Lead players will love it!" - Paul Heumiller
