jgwoods Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 You won't sneak up on anyone with that guitar- and no one will steal it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilliangirl Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I've never heard of beeswing mahogany but it sure is lovely. How does it sound? Are you sure that's a dread? It looks a bit small in the upper bout? Subu, you must be having a lot of fun these days swapping guitars around! :-k/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilliangirl Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Oh I see it IS a dread.... says so right on the label. A guy we used to play guitar with had a Borgeoius (sp? I just type all the vowels I know) mahogany. It was quite bright sounding, surprisingly. More like a Taylor I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor Player Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 I wouldn't think twice about that offer.... I just got to hear a guy playing a Bourgeois Slope D at a gathering of local AGF members last week and it was probably my favorite 6 string at the get together. (There was a luthier built 12 string small body that really had me GASsing the most and now I have my eyes open for a 12 string again!!! ) Dana's guitars that I have heard and played are very Taylor like in many respects but almost has a more "Mature" sound, if that is a good word for it. It is more of a Taylor sound than a Martin sound but maybe a nice mix of both with the best tones from both coming out of the soundhole. What a sweeeeeeeeet looking burst on that too. Did you trade yet, cause if you haven't..... GET OFF YER BUTT AND DO IT!!! :- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onewilyfool Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Hog slope???? I would do it in a flash. I think these luthier are contemporary and equally as good.....but this one is a beauty. I'm not sure what is in the grain of the top, is that bear claw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
