Default 2016 Bourgeois Soloist Braz/Adi OMC SOLD

I am thinking of letting go of a terrific 2016 Bourgeois Soloist I recently took in trade. I absolutely adore this guitar, but liquidation is calling my name. I might be open to partial trades, so feel free to check on on any offers, though I'd ideally be selling outright. If this doesn't sell, I'm perfectly content to hold on to it.

This is what you expect from Dana. It's gorgeously appointed, with his Aged Tone Adirondack Spruce on top and Brazilian Rosewood on the sides and back. It has Antique Walrus Ivory bridge pins. He used hide glue, as he does with all his ATs.

The nut is 1 3/4, and the string spacing at saddle is listed at 2 5/16. I measured it as right around 2 4/16 though.

I have looked for any flaws or blemishes and can't find any - this guitar is impeccable in every way. The frets show basically no sign of wear.

I've included a photo of the spec sheet, please let me know if you have any further questions. I'm terrible at taking photos with my phone, but am happy to take any more per request.

Price: $7500 shipped, paypal F/F. I cannot ship out of the US due to the Braz however. This is priced very competitively relative to comparables around the internet.

Thanks, y'all.

Here's what someone who obviously really enjoys writing about guitars had to say about the Soloist:


No discussion of Orchestra model guitars is complete without a spirited discussion regarding the Bourgeois “Soloist”. Dana Bourgeois knows wood. And Dana is considered THE expert where soundboard voicing is concerned. The re-birth and popularity of OM-28 style guitars in general owes much to Dana Bourgeois’ 38 years of involvement in the guitar industry.

The Bourgeois “Soloist” is normally a European topped lightly crafted, exquisitely voiced fingerstyle guitar and the overall voicing is ideally suited for a serious fingerstyle player moreso than a ham-fisted white-knuckled flatpicker.

But when Dana Bourgeois turned the acoustic guitar industry ON ITS EAR eighteen months ago with the introduction of his AGED TONE guitars, several customers immediately inquired: “When will Dana take a special order for an AGED TONE Adirondack spruce topped Soloist?,” we set to peppering and pestering Dana with that very question.

Long story short: The wait is over. The guitar is here. The rest is history.

Back up for this mint beauty. This is priced well below comparables on reverb, etc.
