Bourgeois Custom D

Check out the demonstration video of this powerhouse Dreadnaught hand voiced in the Lewiston, Maine shop of master luthier Dana Bourgeois! Note the large soundhole and plain headstock face (with the logo decal on the back), features inspired by the Holy Grail D28 dreadnaught owned, played, and loved by Tony Rice! The enlarged soundhole was improvised by hand by Clarence White – the story is well known in the Bluegrass music world!

Here at The Fretted Buffalo, we are in love with Sinker Mahogany – a tonewood strong in fundamental tone, with just enough overtone to add color and depth. 

We’ll let this awesome guitar speak for itself in the video! 

Basic specs:

Long scale at 25.5”; Nut width 1-23/32”; String spacing at the bridge is 2.2”. Animal protein glue; Aged tone Adirondack bracing. Dana Bourgeois signature label
