One of Tennessee’s finest builders, Chris Bozung has been churning out knockout instruments for the past 10 years, ranging from traditional Dreadnoughts and Banjos to his Git-Jo (a 5-string banjo neck on a cutaway 000 body) and Resonators. Today we’ve got one of his “Vintage J” Slope Dreadnoughts in the shop, and it’s easy to see what all the hype is about: this guitar’s can cruise in high gear for flatpicking tunes without topping out (you’ve got to feel this calibre of projection in person), it’s got trebles that are crisp and very present, and the sustain is rich and resounding, thanks to the chocolate-dark Brazilian Rosewood back and sides and sunburst Adirondack Spruce top. Chris’s take on the classic 1930s Slope Shoulder Dreadnaught is a great example of a contemporary builder’s preservation of the aesthetic and tone of a bygone era.
We've had several Bozungs in the shop, and each one was a powerhouse. The tone of this one is rich and colorful, with a great balance across the registers that works well for fingerpicking. 
I love the way this sounds and feels like a cross between a vintage Gibson and a vintage Martin. It definitely looks like a vintage Gibson but the amazing Brazilian rosewood back and sides sets it apart in its own category. It would be happy either flatpicked or fingerpicked. | Scale Length | 25.4000 in |
