Default ^^^Bourgeois SJ Custom -- Cocobolo/German Beauty--OFF THE MARKET^^^

Hello. My name is Frank and I have Guitar Acquisition Syndrome. While he have no cure at the this time, there are scientists working around the clock--somewhere--I'm guessing--to put a stop to this madness. In the meantime, this magnificent instrument is testimony to the seriousness of the situation.

Recently acquired in a trade. It does everything well and the action and playability are off the chart. It's beauty speaks for itself and is matched only by its tone. I did add the pick guard as I use my fingernails and didn't want to take any risks. This instrument is in Excellent ++++ condition. I never say mint on a used instrument. Come in a TKL deluxe case "black alligator" that is also nearly perfect.

Please see attached sheet for specs.

Decided to give this lovely instrument one more round; Off the market 10-18-16 OFF THE MARKET Buyers fees, if needed, are responsibility of the buyer. [/B] Lots of transactions here on the forum, so if you need a reference...

Now for the eye candy:

It is a terrible affliction! Just look at the results...

Yikes!!! What a beauty

Transylvania is a super guy to work with, and has the sweetest guitars!

I have owned a couple that were his, and they were/are stellar.

Best on your sale, and congrats to whoever scores this beauty!!!

You do not often see Gotoh 510s on a Bogie.

Cheers

Paul

Dang that is amazing. Since "ya never know" almost certainly doesn't mean you're reconsidering the no trade thing, I'll just say GLWS and happy Labor Day.

Frank is the best. Multiple easy transactions with him and guitars always in stellar condition. You're an IDIOT if you hesitate in dealing with him.

Free bump for such a bourgey guitar and first rate seller.

I had the opportunity to play this guitar the last time I got together with Frank.

I can assure you it is far above average. I would have bought it right then and there if I didn't have a very similar guitar already.

Awesome guitar from one of the very best guys on the forum.

This guitar also has Diamondave's seal of approval. I have trouble counting how many killer guitars I got from him.

Thanks Rob--really appreciate it. It is definitely a special guitar. I have added to possible trades on this one.

That's was a NICE Bourgeois.... The combo of Coco and German and Short Scale defines the term buttery... But still a lot of brilliance as well in the treble.... What a guitar...

Great guitar here folks. One of the best values on the forum.

If I didn't have some builds to pay for it would already be mine.

Thanks Rob. It really is a killer deal on a very fine instrument. It is starting to garner some interest so if you've been on the fence let me know folks

As a previous owner of this guitar I can't believe that this guitar is not sold yet.
If she had a bigger ( 1 25/32 or 1 13/16 ) neck and if I did not have the custom made guitar with a similar tone wood, I would keep this guitar forever.
Yes, she is that good !
Comfortable to play, beautiful and with fantastic clear voice this guitar is priced now lower than I could ever think ..
IMHO The best deal on AGF right now !
