Bourgeois Slope D Sunburst Guitar Demo @ House of Musical Traditions

[daw162]

Recorded versions with the slope D don't really do it justice. It's a live player's guitar, very fundamental and extremely strong. It almost sounds transparent on a low sound quality video, but if you get one in your hands, you can drive it as hard as you want and it's still clear and strong.

That last little arpeggio says it all.

I own a Martin J41 Special, a custom Taylor with an adirondack spruce top and Brazilian rosewood back and sides, and a Taylor 914 CE. I recently picked up a Slope D Bourgeois at a Wisconsin guitar store (Daves' Guitar). I thought it was the most fabulous guitar I had ever tried, so I am in the process of selling one of my Taylors to get a slope D. I consider Dana Bourgeois the foremost authority figure in the world in acoustic guitar making.

Martin's and Taylors are great factory made pieces. Bourgois' are top of the line boutique company guitars, but acoustic guitar sounds are completely individual, not unique to brand or model. If you're looking handmade steel string guitars make sure to check out Collings, Goodall, Ryan, Northwood, Webber, Somodji, Kent Everett, Sheldon Schwartz, Beneteau, Olson and if you check out those you'll find another 100 makers on the way.
