Bourgeois guitars, crafted in Lewiston, Maine, are true American acoustics built with unparalleled attention to detail. From the selection of woods to the hardware, each guitar is unique, with two instruments of the same model receiving personalized attention that bestows a distinct quality. The small team of artisans brings a special life to these instruments, carefully pairing compatible woods to shape each guitar's sound based on its size and form. Hand-carved and infused with Dana Bourgeois’s involvement at various stages of production, every piece undergoes meticulous quality control.
The Bourgeois HS 00 Vintage A exemplifies the craftsmanship of Bourgeois workshops. Its 00 body shape, more compact than a dreadnought, offers a balanced sound projection, allowing for great versatility in playing. The Adirondack spruce top, known for its brilliance and responsiveness, delivers precise attack and excellent treble projection. The Indian rosewood used for the back and sides adds remarkable warmth and depth, enhancing the instrument’s mids and lows magnificently.
Designed for exceptional playability, the Bourgeois HS 00 Vintage A features a mahogany neck paired with an ebony fingerboard, providing a smooth and pleasant feel under the fingers. The neck profile is crafted to facilitate both chords and solos, ensuring fluid playability even for the most discerning guitarists. The density and smooth texture of the ebony enhance finger accuracy, making every note easier to reach and every passage more fluid.
The sound character of the Bourgeois HS 00 Vintage A is defined by its power and delicacy. The careful selection of woods combined with traditional construction methods gives this guitar a vintage tone rich in harmonics. With deep, warm basses, nuanced mids, and clear highs, it creates a versatile sound palette perfect for exploring various musical styles. Whether for delicate fingerpicking, blues, folk, or studio recordings, this guitar meets every demand, making it an ideal choice for professional musicians.
