2009 Bozung J Slope D Brazilian/Adirondack (Red)
One of Tennessee’s finest builders, Chris Bozung has been churning out knockout instruments for the past 10 years, ranging from traditional Dreadnoughts and Banjos to his Git-Jo (a 5-string banjo neck on a cutaway 000 body) and Resonators. Today we’ve got one of his “Vintage J” Slope Dreadnoughts in the shop, and it’s easy to see what all the hype is about: this guitar’s can cruise in high gear for flatpicking tunes without topping out (you’ve got to feel this calibre of projection in person), it’s got trebles that are crisp and very present, and the sustain is rich and resounding, thanks to the chocolate-dark Brazilian Rosewood back and sides and sunburst Adirondack Spruce top. Chris’s take on the classic 1930s Slope Shoulder Dreadnaught is a great example of a contemporary builder’s preservation of the aesthetic and tone of a bygone era.

2007 Bozung Special Brazilian/Adirondack Nick Lucas
We originally custom ordered this gorgeous CB (Chris Bozung) Special guitar and requested premium Brazilian Rosewood and Adirondack spruce for a powerful prewar style tone. From the CB website: “Although the width of the body is slightly smaller than a dreadnought the CB Special’s extra-deep body means that it gives up very little “air space” to its larger-body cousin. The extra depth of the body provides the volume and power of a larger body, while the slightly smaller body width serves to focus the tone.The CB Special, aside from being an exceptionally beautiful instrument, is a pint-sized powerhouse whose surprising volume, clarity and focus of tone will satisfy even the most experienced and discerning player.” We couldn’t agree more, this is a little monster.

New Bozung CB Special Dream Series Brazilian/Adirondack
The Dream Series from Chris Bozung is the ultimate Bozung. For this series Chris starts with the very best old growth Brazilian Rosewood, adds Adirondack Spruce, Vintage voicing and his amazing 1930s style sunburst. The result is a top quality modern L-00 that captures the true character and spirit of the vintage Gibson design. We all love the old Gibsons but we don’t like the nagging problems vintage guitars always have. Here you not only get reliability and major tone, but killer Brazilian Rosewood to boot. Hearing this one it’s little wonder why Pete Huttlinger raved about his so much!

New Bozung D-18 Mahogany/Sitka 40+ yr. old Woods
Here we have a brand new D-18 from Chris Bozung of CB Guitars. Chris called us up after he compared this guitar with a 1941 Martin and he thought this one was quite special indeed. We agree, it’s new but it’s already very lively and super strong. It’s clearly got the stuff to be a cannon with a little more playing time. Chris says both the Mahogany and Sitka Spruce are quite old, approx. 40 years and you can tell. Here’s your chance for a modern guitar that’s as good as the classics.

2008 Bozung Vintage J Quilted Mahogany/Adirondack
Once again, Chris Bozung out-Gibsons Gibson with this beautiful slope-shouldered dread. Play it softly and its quilted mahogany and Adirondack Red Spruce sound as warm and toasty as its vintage shaded finish. Strum it hard and it’s 1965 and you’re a young John Lennon banging it out on the set of “Help.” Players with a light touch will hear their sound bloom in a new way, those with heavy touch will love how this one can take a punch and stay on its feet.
