Default Bourgeois Martin Simpson 1 of 25

If you missed the Bourgeois Martin Simpson we had in the store a few months ago, now's your chance to strike while the iron's hot! Speaking of heat, you'd best take care when handling this guitar: she's hot to trot and as loud as a firecracker. Maybe that doesn't quite capture the kind of heat that this hotrod's putting out; let's say what this guitar really is: a big-voiced cannon with just 12 frets. Her previous owner is a gigging musician (which is why she comes with a Highlander IP-2 pickup and mic), so rest assured, the East Indian Rosewood and Adirondack Spruce have been completely opened up, rendering the voice huge, yet balanced, and effortlessly responsive. This is #1 of 25 Limited Edition Martin Simpsons that Bourgeois built when they were first introducing the model, and was owned by Mr. Simpson himself! That makes this guitar Martin Simpson's Martin Simpson--twice the Simpson, double the tone.

The bass is warm and well-defined, and the trebles are nothing short of ecstatic--and she eats up lowered tunings as though they were snacks. DADGAD, Drop D, CFA#D#GC--you name it, this guitar can handle it. With so many options at your hands, it'd be great to make the decision of what to play easier by being better-suited for fingerstyle or flatpicks, but the fact of the matter is this guitar sounds equally stellar with both approaches, so the sky's the limit for how you play, and in what tuning. We've just reset the Mahogany neck and refretted the Ebony fretboard (and to top it off added a new saddle), so she's ready to rumble for decades to come. We have a snugly fitting TKL hardshell case to keep this Bourgeois*Martin Simpson from harm.
