Here, we hardly need to introduce you to either Dana Bourgeois or Bryan Sutton. Just know that these two titans have been collaborating for years, with one result being this rare, powerful, gorgeous Limited Edition model. The 2015 Bryan Sutton LE was an exclusive run of only 30 guitars based on Bryan’s personal D-150, here outfitted with premium Brazilian Rosewood and Aged Tone Adirondack Spruce. According to Dana, “To say that the original is now well-played is something of an understatement. The idea behind the Limited Edition is to get as close as possible to that same elusive, broken-in sound. The new version will still require some playing to achieve the fullness, immediacy and ‘old friend’ feel of the original, but we are convinced it will not require seventeen years of playing by a picker as prolific as Bryan!” The setup is velvet-smooth and effortless, and oh so comfortable with a 1 23/32” nut. Aged Tone finish plus AT bracing; hide glue construction; through saddle plus Antique Walrus Ivory pins.
