Bourgeois
Bourgeois Custom Victorian OMS12 Ltd. Edition 2 of 6 Sinker Sitka / Brazilian
From the Victorian Parlor to the recording studio, performance arena, or your own pickin’ parlor.
Modern guitars were not simply created out of thin air in the 1930s. They evolved from the instruments that preceded them, bearing improvements such as longer necks, solid head stocks, larger bodies, higher string tension, greater volume and superior presence. Our Victorian model is a tip of the hat to an elegant, long lost pre-pre-war aesthetic that deserved to survive into the modern era, featuring half-herringbone (also know as “rope”) purfling, Ivoroid binding and a once-common pyramid bridge.

Hybrid Brazilian Rosewood is a blend of traditional Brazilian Rosewood with a touch of modernity, providing a unique tonal character. Brazilian Rosewood, in its pure form, is renowned for its deep, resonant bass and sparkling treble, along with an incredible sustain. The hybrid version retains these qualities while offering added stability and versatility. The combination of Brazilian Rosewood with a touch of other hard woods ensures a more balanced sound profile, making it versatile across various musical genres. Here’s what Dana has to say about the Hybrid Brazilian; . Dana’s quote on this wood is “Sold to us as genuine Brazilian rosewood, we can attest that this attractive tonewood wood sounds like Brazilian, is of similar weight to Brazilian, and smells like Brazilian. However, due to its striking coloration and atypical grain patterning, we are of the opinion that this is most likely a hybridized version”.
