See this guitar in person this week at the Dallas International Guitar Show May 3-5 at Dallas Market Hall at our booth #672.
This Preowned Bourgeois Country Boy Dreadnought with Adirondack Spruce Top is in very good overall condition, with original hardshell case, and LR Baggs Anthem Electronics installed.
It does have some fine scratches from regular play, but no major nicks, dings, etc.
The case's handle has been replaced (see photos) but is in otherwise great shape.
From Bourgeois about their take on the classic Dreadnought design:
"Over the last eighty years, the Dreadnought became firmly established as the world’s most popular acoustic guitar. It’s easy to see why. Its deep body, wide upper and lower bouts, exceptionally large air cavity and long, 25.5” scale length combine to set the standard for exceptional projection and low end presence.
Decades ago Dana noticed that during the first few years of a large guitar’s life under string tension, guitar tops “relax” until stretched to their limit, then later “harden” as a result of permanent distortion. During relaxation, bass is boosted and high frequency response dies off, often beyond desirable limits; balance is not restored for years, until hardening occurs. In the 1990s Dana modified the traditional Dreadnought bracing system by scalloping only the bass side of the X brace and lightening it’s tone bars. The result successfully counteracted a Dreadnought’s tendency to “unbalance”, and over the years has attracted scores of Dreadnought players including Bryan Sutton, Josh Williams, Andy Falco, Courtney Hartman and many others."
About the Country Boy models:
"Country Boy. Simple. Clean. Versatile. It’s your daily driver. Everything you need. Nothing you don’t.
With a name suggested by Ricky Skaggs in the late 90’s, the Country Boy features premium Mahogany back and sides to create a versatile platform agreeable with any playing style."
