I played the guitar for well over an hour, simply because I'd heard such good things about the brand...

All I can tell you is to not base your opinion of Bourgeois guitars based on one model you played 20 years ago. When I was hunting for a Martin HD-28 back in June, I had all of the models the shop had on the floor sitting around me trying them out. The dealer then brought one from out of the back and it was sad! Horrible tone and the sound felt like it was trapped inside the guitar. I tried that same guitar multiple times over the course of an hour or so and it was pitiful every time, while the rest sounded great! I went home with a Martin that day, because I put that one back up and picked the best model that I found. I, personally have never played a bad sounding Bourgeois, but I won't say that aren't any out there.
