 Attached FileMy current two favorites. Boucher Bluegrass Goose. Mahogany and Red Spruce. As nice a guitar as ANYONE can or does build. Lowden O-50. African Blackwood and Sinker Redwood. A real moody big sound machine with huge headroom. Arm bevels and Gotoh tuners are game changers.  Attached File |

 Attached FileThe “all’s”. Breedlove all Myrtlewood Takamine all Koa. The Breedlove is my all weather-no matter what- it works and sounds great any time almost always in tune guitar. The Takamine is an off catalogue model rumored to have been built for Jackson Browne. |

Nice figuring in that wood. I have never had much exposure to Bourgeios guitars. Like the looks of that one.

Dana Bourgeois is probably the one who has taught and defines what “ tone tapping” is when it comes to building acoustic guitars. The back and sides are from a giant 500 year old mahogany that is just known as “The Tree”. It has its own epic story but it’s known for this incredible 3’d figuring that most photographs don’t capture well. George Lucus is rumored to have paneled his office in this wood. We bought this guitar as an investment-we’ll see. We looked at Ryan’s and Petros as well. Your’s is spectacular. There are some stunningly beautiful guitars coming out of the east (Japan and Thailand ) but they haven’t caught on yet. |

I have always been a Gibson fan and have owned dozens of them over the years. It all started when I was a kid and saw photos of Keith Richards with a Hummingbird on one of my mom's vinyl records. I wish I had several of them back including a nice early 70s Dove. Come and go I guess.

For me I’ve wanted a Dove ever since watching Pure Country. I have yet to get one and decided to go the Martin rout instead but I would still like to get one someday. |
