This is a replica of Bryan Sutton’s “Banjo Killer” and is one of 30 that are signed by Bryan Sutton on the label. Dana Bourgeois says: “ The BK Slope D has a deep, broad tone. Through wood selection and voicing, we push it in the direction of a bigger bottom end, a “lush” top end, and greater volume, similar to the characteristics of Bryan’s original BK. When I first started making slope shouldered Dreadnoughts, I went for something as different as possible from the balanced and focused sound of my standard Dreadnought. The Banjo Killer gets me back to that original idea.” We couldn’t agree more, in fact Bryon Sutton played this very guitar at our shop a few weeks back and it sounded amazing.

Bryan Sutton visited our shop and he seemed very proud of this limited edition from Dana Bourgeois and we can see why. He treated us to a few tunes on it and it sounded amazing, big, strong, clear and musical. This one is #28 of 30 made and showcases some gorgeous woods, flawless construction and big tone and it's been played by Brian...
This is the loudest, clearest dreadnought I've played. No wonder they call it "The Banjo Killer." When Bryan Sutton visited the shop, he played this one and put a few extra notes into it.
