That's where my Bourgeois shines! You have this brilliant mixture of sound it produces that stands out as unique and cuts through the wall of music.

Yes, AT -- so top, bracing, and bridge plate torrefied. Also has the special Satin Finish (like the Collings Julian Lage OM) and the 1 3/4 nut 2 5/16 spacing neck I wanted. But no BK double scalloped bracing. Compromises had to be made to get the guitar I wanted and I traded the BK bracing for the chance at the Satin finish which is supposed to make it more resonant.
This is the exact guitar that Music Emporium sold new back in the Spring. I was going to buy it, I dithered, and it sold right under my nose. But in an amazing stroke of luck, I saw it the day it was posted on TNAG Nashville. The guy who bought it traded it in for an OM. Talked to Kim Sherman, worked out an acceptable price and now it's mine.
I agree with you on the bass bias of Martin Rosewood dreads. My D-28 Marquis was the same way...borderline too much at times.
