Dana is the best at doing a great sunburst, add that to his slope D in Adirondack and Madagascar rosewood and you have beautiful and very versatile guitar. The slope D is a dreadnought with a little more top end and mid range complexity, great for all playing styles. New price would be £4300...

A classic OM from Dana Bourgeois. Indian rosewood back and sides, Adirondack top, bone nut and saddle, ebony fretboard and bridge, Zig Zag wood inlay backstrip, nickel Waverly tuners and herringbone purfling. Very open balanced sound, warm bass with well balanced mids and sweet, clear trebles, perfect for fingerstyle but also responds well to being driven harder.

We've been asking Dana for smaller bodied guitars for a few years now. This O sized guitar is a gem. It is a pint sized performer, a great blues guitar with enough volume and projection to handle fingerstyle, strumming and flat-picking!

I liked Dana’s OO so much I ordered one for myself! This is a very sweet and responsive guitar with playability that is truly remarkable.

Dana's latest dread in mahogany and Adi with hide glue construction. My first impression of it is how light it is. If you've played a pre-war Martin you will know what that means.. If you haven't it means power and response with fantastic depth of tone and articulation. This is a flatpicker's dream but up for much, much more.

Adirondack top, rosewood back and sides, triple bound body, neck and headstock, floral fretboard inlay and ivoroid Waverly tuners, this is a beautiful looking guitar. With 25.5" scale, 1 23/32" at the nut it is a very versatile instrument, drive it hard for a flat-picker's dream, treat it gently and it's incredibly responsive. Deep, warm bass, rich mids and clear, precise trebles, a consummate all-rounder. With hardshell case.

Dana's dream dreadnought, and what a dream it is. In premium Adirondack and Madagascar rosewood with curly koa bindings and herringbone purfling its a great looking guitar. You'd expect great bass from a Bourgeois dread but this one surpasses even my expectations.

The bass is very deep and dark but also warm, despite this it doesn't overpower, balance and projection are excellent. Trebles are clear and well defined, mids are full and sweet. As reviewed in the UK's Acoustic Magazine.

Dana's classic sunburst slope D in mahogany and Adirondack. The slope D is our best selling Bourgeois model, probably because its so versatile, the deep, solid bass of a dreadnought but with superb separation and balance. Great projection with rich mids and clear, precise top notes.

Incredible versatility from this OO sized guitar from Dana. Lots of deep and dark rosewood tones with remarkable clarity, volume and projection. If I hadn't already got a mahogany Bourgeois OO I might be taking it home.
