Bourgeois Bourgeois Custom Shop SJ Vintage HS – Adirondack / Cocobolo – Serial #10973

The Guitar Sanctuary

Description

Handcrafted in Lewiston, Maine, Serial #10973 is a masterclass in boutique lutherie. This Custom Shop SJ (Small Jumbo) combines the legendary "Red Spruce" punch of an Adirondack top with the exotic, lush resonance of Cocobolo. Featuring Dana Bourgeois’ Heirloom Series (HS) appointments and Aged Tone Torrefied bracing, this instrument is designed for the player who demands heirloom-quality aesthetics and a world-class acoustic voice. The Bourgeois SJ is the ultimate "versatile jumbo." Its slightly narrower waist makes it more comfortable than a standard dreadnought, yet its lower bout provides a deep, resonant chamber that produces massive volume. The Adirondack Spruce soundboard—the gold standard for bluegrass and flatpicking—is supported by Aged Tone Torrefied bracing. This specific bracing treatment mimics the cellular structure of a vintage 1930s guitar, providing immediate "broken-in" resonance and incredible stability. The back and sides are crafted from Cocobolo, a premium tonewood renowned for its striking figure and its "hi-fi" tonal profile. Cocobolo offers a slightly quicker attack and more harmonic shimmer than standard Rosewood, making it the perfect partner for the Adirondack top. Every detail of this "Vintage HS" build radiates Golden Era class, from the 1930s Style Herringbone purfling and Extra Vintage Ivoroid rosette to the Abalone Slotted Squares & Diamonds inlay. Finished with a high-gloss body and a smooth satin neck for effortless playability, Serial #10973 is a definitive example of Dana Bourgeois’ lifelong pursuit of the perfect acoustic voice. Key Performance Features: Premium Cocobolo Back & Sides: A dense, exotic Dalbergia that provides "Brazilian-esque" depth and crystalline trebles. Aged Tone Torrefied Bracing: Hand-voiced braces that have been thermally treated to maximize projection and vintage warmth. Heirloom Series Appointments: Features "Extra Vintage" Zig Zag backstrips and 1930s-style herringbone for a timeless pre-war look. Short Scale Playability: The 25” scale length reduces string tension, offering a "slinky" feel and easier fretting without sacrificing power.
