This is a guitar we can recommend to anyone who is looking for something special! Don't miss out!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e -------------------------------------------------\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Bourgeois Guitars -\u003cbr\u003e Bourgeois Guitars, created by guitar maker Dana Bourgeois, is a top American guitar brand, often mentioned alongside Collings and Santa Cruz.\u003cbr\u003e Crafted from carefully selected materials, expert technical skills, and designs born from Dana's extensive experience, these guitars combine \"high precision as musical instruments\" with \"a musically rich tone,\" earning high praise from numerous musicians.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Bushstone Series -\u003cbr\u003e The appeal of the Touchstone Series lies in Dana Bourgeois's hand-voicing system (also known as tap tuning, where the tone is checked by tapping the wood).\u003cbr\u003e Over the past 50 years, he has refined this time-honored technique and is now recognized worldwide as a leading expert in soundboard voicing. He reads the potential tonality hidden within the fibers of the world's finest tonewoods, and selects only the finest soundboards.\u003cbr\u003e To maximize the unique tone of each type of wood, each brace on the soundboard is meticulously carved, and the sound is checked through hand-voicing. Once the soundboards for the Touchstone series are complete and have undergone a final check by Dana, only those that have been vacuum-sealed are shipped to the Eastman workshop.\u003cbr\u003e There, Eastman's hand-picked luthiers, who have meticulously studied Beaujolais's philosophy and structural methodology, breathe life into each of their guitars.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Signature\/TS -\u003cbr\u003e This instrument is a Signature model that combines a traditional body style with the design sensibilities of Dana Bourgeois.\u003cbr\u003e This guitar boasts incredibly luxurious specifications, including a torified Sitka spruce top, Adirondack spruce bracing, Madagascar rosewood back and sides, a mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard and bridge, and Schaller tuners.\u003cbr\u003e In terms of sound, it's a superb finish that's in no way inferior to the all-USA made Bourgeois. It has the thick, lustrous fundamental tone and voluminous midrange characteristic of Bourgeois, along with harmonics that create a beautiful lingering resonance without being overpowering, and a smooth sustain. All of these are blended together in exquisite balance, producing a pure tone that highlights the nuances of the player.\u003cbr\u003e This series is incredibly appealing because, thanks to the use of rare Madagascar rosewood for the sides and back, it produces a superb tone with hard, brilliant yet uniquely sweet overtones that intertwine exquisitely with the forward-projecting fundamental tone that is characteristic of Bourgeois guitars.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e While this model is priced in the 600,000 yen range, making it very affordable within the Beaujolais range, it's far too good to simply be described as cost-effective. It's crafted with absolutely no compromises, resulting in an instrument that delivers an overwhelming sound quality.\u003cbr\u003e Please take this opportunity to experience it for yourself!!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody Shape: OM\u003cbr\u003e Top Wood: Torrefied Alaskan Sitka Spruce (Hand Selected)\u003cbr\u003e Back Sides: Madagascar Rosewood (Hand Selected)\u003cbr\u003e Bracing: Adirondack Spruce\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Neck: Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e Fretboard: Ebony\u003cbr\u003e Bridge: Ebony\u003cbr\u003e Head Plate: Ziricote\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Scale Length: 25.5 inches (647.7 mm)\u003cbr\u003e Nut\/Bridge Width: Nut-1 23\/32(43.7mm) Bridge-2.2(55.8mm)\u003cbr\u003e Nut: Bone\u003cbr\u003e Saddle: Bone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Body Finish: High Gloss\u003cbr\u003e Neck Finish: Satin\u003cbr\u003e Head Plate Finish: Satin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Tuners: Schaller Gold with Ebony Buttons\u003cbr\u003e Pins: Ivoroid\u003cbr\u003e Stoneguard: Tortoise\u003cbr\u003e Electronics: None\u003cbr\u003e Case: Hard Case","brand":"Bourgeois","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43743652151409,"sku":"864091","price":3842.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0638\/4173\/0673\/files\/864091_01.jpg?v=1785321993","url":"https:\/\/global.ikebe-gakki.com\/products\/864091","provider":"Ikebe Musical Instruments Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
