Sold: Bourgeois 00 Wood Deluxe w/ Hide Glue (Redwood & Figured Rosewood)

[scob]

I'm very sorry to say that I have to let go of the finest guitar I've ever owned, or even played. We need the money for other things, so after much deliberation and struggling with the idea, it was decided that selling my precious Bourgie is the right thing to do.

She's in absolutely mint condition, not a scratch anywhere on her. She's lived in her plush case and has been lovingly wiped down after every time she's been played. She's as perfect as the day she left Lewiston. Even the pickguard looks perfect and shiny, not a scratch or brush mark to be seen -- I've never once even used a pick on her, only played bare flesh fingerstyle in the couple of months I've owned her.

And fingerstyle is where this amazing Redwood top really shines, and the reason I bought her. She has such an amazingly balanced and sweet tone. The depth and dimension of the overtones are remarkable. I hear almost a phasing effect when I let notes ring out -- there is just so much movement in the sweet sounds she produces. I can't emphasize the adjective SWEET enough to describe her tone -- It's just full and sweet and ringing. This wood combination is just so beautiful sounding, looking, and surprisingly versatile. I can't believe I have to give her up. Absolutely the best sounding and, by far, the most beautiful looking guitar I've ever played. One day I will own one again...

She comes with everything that was in the case when I got her, including the build sheet.

I don't have any sound clips, and don't have decent enough recording equipment to capture any kind of meaningful sound. But here is a clip from Eddie's Guitars of her sister (6 serial numbers away, similar size and same wood combo - although not sure if that one has hide glue or not): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GS4VJb1BdUs

Seriously gorgeous guitar. Good luck man.

Yea, she is stunning, even more so in person. The pics don't do her justice. Selling this one definitely hurts. :/

Gorgeous guitar. How old is the guitar - what year was it built? Any sound clips available? Thanks.

[scob]

Thanks! She's about 2 months old, serial #7737.

Wow that EIR is out of this world! GLWS!

[scob]

Thanks! Hopefully she will go quick, gotta peel that bandaid off as fast as possible.

Price reduced.

Surprised that she hasn't been taken yet. Last time I listed a Bourgeois on here, it was scooped up within 3 days.

[jolli]

Stunning! Good luck.

[scob]

Thanks!

Big price drop. Need to get her sold ASAP due to my current financial situation.

[scob]

Another big price drop. I have to find her a new home quickly. I'm taking quite a beating on the price, but she needs to be moved.

[scob]

Bump and price drop.

[scob]

Still available.
