This is the very first 14 fret 00 made by Bourgeois! It served as the prototype for the production models that came after. It features an adirondack spruce top with honduran mahogany back and sides. The feel is very similar to the 1940’s Martin 00 it was modeled after. The mahogany neck has a comfortable soft V profile with a volute. The whole guitar has a very understated but elegant look. Instead of the usual flashy mother of pearl inlay, the logo is inlaid with ivoroid in the Ziricote headstock veneer. The setup and playability is excellent as expected from Bourgeois. The smaller body shape is very comfortable to hold yet still provides a good amount of projection and bass. It is responsive to a light touch and works great for fingerpicking but it also holds up to strumming thanks to the adirondack top. Here is your chance to own a little piece of Bourgeois history. Overall it is a very versatile instrument and has the dry vintage tone with modern playability.
