2007 Bogdanovich, J.S. Concert - Classical Guitar
John Bogdanovich, author of 'Classical Guitar Making, a modern approach to traditional design', is widely heralded as a builder who merges the rare talents of the highest craftsmanship along with a player's intuition to create guitars that truly satisfy guitarists. This concert guitar below is a wonderful example of his work. Rosewood and Spruce accented by John's original rosette design and elegant extended fingerboard. The voice is simply sublime, it gives the player the ability to coax powerful dynamics or shear beauty. Slight movements of the right hand reward you with many colors. This is a very complete instrument suitable for the highest levels of play.

Player Reviews:
"I own one of John's guitars and it is extremely satisfying to play. Every morning I strike those strings and am reminded how powerful, yet beautiful the voice is. We really do feel John's guitars are a surprising value as well. Many players pay three times the price for no more tone or playability. In fact, I'd say John's craftsmenship is second to none. Don't miss this chance to own a worldclass guitar such as this." - Paul Heumiller
"This is one of the nicest classicals I've seen. I would put it up against many guitars that cost twice or three times as much. It's just a joy to play." - Al Petteway
"The bass is clear and articulate, the mids are assertive without being harsh, the trebles are clear and sweet. Playability is a good as anything in our shop. This is a beautiful instrument at a very affordable price. " - Al Schlimm
