BOURGEOIS
ACOUSTIC
Bourgeois offers these features standard on all models except where noted: 25.5 in. scale, bone nut and saddle, ebony fingerboard, ebony bell bridge, rosewood headstock veneer, black fingerboard binding, high gloss body and headstock finish, satin neck finish, MOP Bourgeois headstock inlay, Bourgeois Downeast pickguard, ivoroid bridge and end pins, custom hardshell case, and a limited lifetime warranty.
Keep in mind that it is possible that Bourgeois changed standard specs over the years and not every guitar will contain these. As of 2006, these are the standard specs. Bourgeois also offers several options on all models. Even though they offer their guitars through dealers, guitars can still be ordered with several options that make them one of a kind in a sense. A list of pricing options is listed but use this with some caution. Many models already have these options as standard equipment and therefore do not add additional value. Left-handed guitars are available at no additional cost. If you are really confused with what guitar you have or the options, it is best to contact Bourgeois directly.
Bourgeois also produces a small line of archtop guitars. Production models in past years have included the A-350, A-360 (A-350 with gold hardware and Kent Armstrong pickup and controls), and the A-500 (premium wood version). Currently, archtop guitars are built on a limited availability basis. Contact Bourgeois for more information.
