Introducing: Your dream instrument from Bourgeois Guitars
All the info to help you decide
The Bourgeois Guitars Banjo Killer is a slope-shouldered dreadnought and one of the most popular models in the Bourgeois lineup. At first glance it appears to be a conventional slope D with a mahogany body and a spruce top. On closer inspection it becomes clear that this is a very special instrument: the top is Sitka spruce showing striking "bearclaw" figuring, while the body is made from Honduras mahogany, one of the most sought-after and highest-quality mahogany species. The body also features grain that immediately catches the eye. This combination of woods produces a balanced yet assertive tone that will immediately captivate any guitarist. The guitar's classic looks are completed by vintage-style tuners and a thin high-gloss finish.

About Bourgeois Guitars

He built his own guitars in the early 1970s and opened a small shop in Maine in 1977, where he worked as a luthier and repairer.
Over the years Bourgeois Guitars has earned an outstanding reputation, as the company places great emphasis on genuine craftsmanship and an excellent tone. Only first-rate, carefully selected materials are used for the instruments, because quality always comes first.
