2007 Bourgeois D-150 Plantation - Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar
The Plantation is a top-of-the-line D-150 from Dana Bourgeois and company. This particular Plantation has one of the prettiest sets of Brazilian you'll see anywhere, it's spectacular. The top is Master Grade Adirondack Red Spruce, something Dana is famous for, he knows how to voice Adirondack perfectly. To compliment the premium woods there's a bound neck and headstock with white perflings on both. Now for the good stuff, this thing sounds amazing! It is exhuberant, lush and strong. Single lines and chords are simply perfect.

Player Reviews:
"Al's right, this one is special. Dana excels at Adirondack tops and paired here with sublime Brazilian Rosewood you get all the tone you could ever want. It's absolutely mint and plays like a dream. A new one would list for $7295 and would take you about a year to get so don't miss this one." - Paul Heumiller
"This is one of the best dreadnoughts I've played. The tone is rich and clear without any muddiness or lack of bass. Really quite a feat and it plays perfectly." - Al Petteway
