Default SOLD torrified, aged tone, aged finish, hot hide Adi over braz Bourgois

For sale is a lovely Bourgeoise Custom dreadnaught, Brazilian Rosewood back and sides, aged tone Adirondack top, fwi pins, nut and saddle, EVO frets and Snakewood buttons. This uses Dana's aged finish and Hide glue. 14 frets to the body. 1 23/32" nut width. Comfortable!

This guitar is in wonderful, but not new, mint, or unplayed condition. I can't find any flaws - but it has been played. The pick guard shows swirls.

I've not heard a 1930's Martin, though I've been told this guitar sounds like one. Tone is subjective: To me, the guitar sounds full and balanced, rich in overtones, but not so much sustain as to create muddiness when strumming.

I am not interested in trades.
Almost $9000 new, I'm looking for $sold for this guitar. CONUS only. Paypal, or Cashier's check .
3 day approval period is assumed. You may reach me via PM, or ken dot hobbs at me dot com.

For those that wonder why I'm selling it, I need the money for a new build. Accordingly, I not interested in trades or partial trades. My other Brazilian Dread is. Circa D28. I would have to ask much more for the Circaa.

As I am not much of a photographer, I am using the photos (with permission) used by the original owner.

Smile Additional Pictures by request

Things that appear to be dust on the camera lens, shadows, and sunlight reflected off the guitar are: I think that it is possible to see some of the swirls on the pick guard.

In an effort to portray the guitar honestly, I may have overstated myself. This guitar is in very good (9 of 10) shape. It is not perfect. Except perhaps sonically.

I LOVE that figured Brazilian!!!!! Strait grain, IMO, is overrated! If you ever change your mind and consider partial trades--let me know! Good luck with this sale--sure is a beauty!

Actually, Alaska is part of CONUS! That just leaves out you island-types. Seriously considering this beauty....!
