2007 Borges 000-40 - 000 Acoustic Guitar
Julius Borges is all about tradition and traditional guitars. This guitar is a great example of what he does which is to make guitars based on traditional designs but with today's precision, knowledge, materials and of course Julius innate abilities. A Borges guitar exemplifies clean workmanship and attention to detail which also help to make the tone so special. The power is tremendous and it has that 000 bite and push. The trebles are huge sounding and put the melody right out front. The bass is focused and has a bit of growl perfect for the blues. Julius makes very few guitars and we are thrilled to have this top notch example to offer you.

Player Reviews:
"The tone of this 000 Borges gave me a huge smile. I'm a 000 fan for my blues playing and this is one of the very best I've ever played. The trebles fire across the room and bass has the 000 snap and bite that I love. The construction is superb and the materials from the premium Brazilian Rosewood to the Master Grade Adirondack to the Paua top trim and 40 Style inlays are all top notch. This is as fine a guitar as you can put your hands on. 000 fans do not miss this one, it's truly special." - Paul Heumiller
"This is as close as you'll get to having a brand new 1920's Vintage Martin. The feel and the sound are perfect. One of the best renditions I've ever seen. It has a couple of modern upgrades like a truss rod and higher quality tuning machines, but otherwise it's the spittin' image of the vintage original." - Al Petteway
