Bourgeois Professional Satin D Vintage - Sitka Spruce & Indian Rosewood #11292

Description The Bourgeois Professional Satin D Vintage is an instrument that carries the unmistakable spirit of Dana Bourgeois’ vision, a guitar that honors the golden era of American dreadnoughts while embodying the refinement and precision that his workshop has long been celebrated for. Known for his gift of blending tradition with innovation, Bourgeois has shaped this guitar to speak with a voice that is as powerful as it is nuanced. With a Sitka spruce top paired to Indian rosewood back and sides, it offers the tonal foundation that has defined countless iconic recordings: a shimmering top end, a warm midrange, and a deep, resonant bass that anchors every chord. Yet in true Bourgeois fashion, these woods are voiced to perfection, coaxing out clarity, balance, and a touch of sweetness that makes the instrument equally at home in a lively jam or a quiet studio. Visually, the Professional Satin D Vintage radiates a quiet sophistication. The body is framed in ivoroid binding that gracefully outlines the contours of the guitar, while vintage herringbone purfling evokes the beauty of pre-war designs. A black and white vintage rosette encircles the soundhole with understated charm, perfectly complemented by the celluloid pickguard that recalls classic styling. The back of the guitar features a traditional zipper backstrip, a detail that ties it firmly to its historical lineage. Every element has been chosen to reflect not only elegance but also a deep respect for the instruments that inspire this model. The square headstock with its diamond head shape speaks to the timeless aesthetic of vintage dreadnoughts, while the ziricote veneer adds richness and depth. Inlaid with a mother-of-pearl Bourgeois logo, it carries both prestige and restraint. Schaller nickel tuners offer smooth and reliable performance, completing a headstock design that balances grace with practicality. Beneath the hand, the 14-fret ebony fingerboard gleams with abalone slotted squares and diamond inlays, a motif that glows against the black binding. The ebony bridge and fingerboard add strength and tonal focus, while the ivoroid heel cap and endpiece inlay offer delicate finishing touches. The feel of the instrument reflects Bourgeois’ devotion to playability. The neck, with its satin finish, sits comfortably in the hand, smooth and unencumbered, allowing hours of effortless playing. The satin headstock finish continues the theme of understated refinement, while the high-gloss body finish ensures that the woods shine with natural beauty. With a 25 1/2 inch scale length, a nut width of 1 23/32 inches, and a bridge spacing of 2.2 inches, the guitar offers a perfect blend of vintage-inspired proportions and modern comfort. Bone pins with black dots complete the bridge, not only tying the look together but contributing to the guitar’s clear, articulate voice. At 4 pounds 4 ounces, the Professional Satin D Vintage feels wonderfully balanced. It is light enough to resonate with immediacy yet solid enough to project with authority. Inside, Bourgeois’ signature label affirms the lineage and the care taken in its creation. Every detail, from the choice of standard glues to the thoughtful finishing work, reflects Dana Bourgeois’ lifelong dedication to craftsmanship and tone. The Bourgeois Professional Satin D Vintage is not simply another dreadnought. It is a masterfully built instrument that carries the DNA of the great pre-war guitars while embracing the refinements that modern luthiery allows. It offers a voice that is commanding yet refined, traditional yet distinctively Bourgeois. With its elegant aesthetic, flawless build, and deeply musical character, it stands as both a tribute to tradition and a shining example of why Dana Bourgeois’ work continues to inspire players across generations.
