Pull out every stop, and you’ve got something half as sweet and responsive as this 2007 Bourgeois NAMM Soloist, number eight of nine. Dana and his team spared no detail when building this beauty: Brazilian Rosewood back and sides, Italian Spruce top, Waverly tuners, flawless fit-n-finish. Our Soloist is an extremely easy player that loves standard tuning as much as Open D, and we found it responded well to even an aggressive attack. The Soloist/OM shape is comfortable in your arms, and the cutaway gives your left hand carte blanche across the fretboard. We’re happy to report this tone machine hasn’t been lying dormant, collecting dust, since 2007. It’s in great condition, with only a few marks and wear on the neck that come from long hours of making music.
Lively, open, and quick—this Bourgeois Soloist is welcome in our hands anytime.
