Bourgeois Custom Country Boy Dreadnought w/ Adirondack Top and Hot Hide Glue

Our first offering from Dana Bourgeois with the hide glue top assembly option - which at first blush is worth every cent!

The Adirondack top bracing and bridge joints are painstakingly made by hand in the old fashioned method with hot hide glue. The difference is astounding, offering more immediate punch and volume.

If you are considering a stellar bluegrass instrument for power, be certain to add a Bourgeois to your arsenal.

Mahogany guitars are sometimes looked at as poorer cousins of rosewood guitars, but the builders at Bourgeois disagree; dressing the Country Boy in classic appointments such as ebony fretboard and bridge, wooden rosette, tortoiseshell binding, vintage style top toner, and nickel Waverly tuners. They also consider it worthy of the same diamond volute used on the back of their Vintage Dreadnought peghead. In addition to selecting only the finest quartersawn and matched South American mahogany backs and sides, this Country Boy is appointed with a beautiful Adirondack Red Spruce.
