comment
Dana Bourgeois Ricky Skaggs Model is well known to all country and bluegrass fans.

Dana Bourgeois" is known around the world for his soloist models.

He was an advisor for the acoustic line design at Gibson's Montana factory and established "Bourgeois Guitars" in 1995.

This instrument was made in 1997 with serial no.: 00068*, inlay logo on the head, original Waverly pegs, ivoroid binding, ebony fingerboard and bridge, diamond inlay, Avalon rosette, .... Pickguard, solid spruce top, rosewood veneer sides and back, one-piece mahogany mahogany body, and Dana's own selection of materials for the body. The body material is selected one by one by Dana himself as a guitar builder. The X-bracing on the front panel is an original style, and the bracing on the back is also handmade with a high and thin thickness.
The low end is scalloped, the lower end of the bridge is scalloped, and the high end of the X-bracing is non-scalloped.
The sound has good sound pressure and depth in the low frequency range. The sound of the mid-range has a good graininess with a good edge, and the high frequency sound is outstanding with a pleasant overtone that is surprisingly extended and shiny, and you can feel the sound even with light strokes. The top has a few scratches on the 6th string side, but there are no noticeable dents or scratches on the sides and back. There are some small dents on the back of the neck and the back of the neck, but they are not bothersome to play. The body has a light cloudiness, which is typical of this period and can be seen in the reflection of the light, but it may disappear depending on the angle of view. The strength and sound are not a problem. The nut width is 44.5mm, the string length is 650mm, the string height is about 2.5mm on the 6th string (12F) and about 2mm on the 1st string (12F), and there is a little less than 3mm of room on the saddle for fine adjustment. The original hard case is also included. This is a "Ricky Skaggs Model" that rarely appears on the used market. This is a high-end model that was quite expensive and unaffordable at the time of its release. We hope you will take this opportunity to consider it.
