Condition
Very Good. Ricky Skaggs used this guitar quite a bit, so there are a few marks on the top, capo marks on neck, few tiny dings on headstock, few button marks on back, etc. But overall it is solid and professionally cared for.

Why break in your own guitar when you can have country and bluegrass legend Ricky Skaggs do it for you??!! That’s right – this seriously fine Bourgeois D-150 Custom guitar was “played in” on stage by none other than Ricky himself. For a guitar with such a rich past, it’s in great shape, and heart-stopping tone. Words fail to describe the big authentic tone of this guitar. The Brazilian Rosewood is superb and has some lovely sapwood stripes and rich grain. The Adirondack top is wide grained, perfect for bluegrass. If you’re a fan of Dana Bourgeois, or a fan of Ricky — don’t let this one slip away! It’s that good!

What a delight to get in a guitar that has belonged to a huge star like Ricky Skaggs. Just imagine the notes put through this box! I emailed Ricky and he confirmed he did indeed own this guitar for some time and it's easy to hear it's magic. Big, strong voice that is also very articulate and perfect for bluegrass. Single lines and strumming just feel at home on this early Dana Bourgeois D-150 Custom.
This guitar has punch to spare. It is equally happy being played as a flatpicking guitar or a fingerstyle guitar and the tone is balanced and pure. It has some very pretty Brazilian rosewood on it as well.
