Our 2004 Bourgeois Vintage D has been played in and opened up like nothing else—loud, responsive, and powerful. Brazilian Rosewood back and sides paired with an Adirondack Spruce top in the prewar tradition, with 28-style Herringbone appointments and Waverly tuners. The neck is finished in half satin, and is such a smooth operator in the left hand. That, combined with a setup that’s dialed down from Bluegrass territory, makes for an eminently playable Vintage D, one that we found ourselves drawn to pick up again and again. The previous owner had a Fishman Matrix Infinity pickup system installed that translates all that Bourgeois richness faithfully to the stage—this is a Dreadnought built to be played, and played often.

Dana Bourgeois and his team know how to make a dreadnought. Just ask Bryan Sutton and so many other pro musicians who use their instruments. This one from 2004 was built with the best materials possible. Awesome power and clarity, perfect playability, a wonderful instrument in every sense. | Scale Length | 25.4 in |
