The Bourgeois slope shouldered dreadnought is only about 1/4" wider than a standard dreadnought, but what a difference! Voiced for a more open sound than a standard D, the Slope D happily accommodates a wide variety of playing styles including country, blues, old timey, pop,contemporary, and--you name it. If you're a fingerstyle player looking for a dreadnought-sized guitar that can handle fingerpicks or bare fingers as well as flatpicks, the Slope D works very well. It has an Adirondack spruce top and lightly stained mahogany back and sides to show the natural beauty of the wood. The ebony fretboard, headstock and soundhole are bound with ivoroid. To complement the theme, the Bourgeois snakehead-style peghead is graced with ivoroid-buttoned Waverly tuners. |
