{"product_id":"used-bourgeois-banjo-killer-slope-d","title":"Used Bourgeois Banjo Killer Slope D","description":"One of a limited run of 30 close replicas of Bryan Sutton's personal 1995 Bourgeois slope shoulder dreadnought, dubbed \"Banjo Killer\" after its clear, powerful voice and high headroom. Notable construction details include a double-scalloped X-bracing pattern, slightly overstiff back bracing, and a full 25.5\" scale length. Tonewoods are all top-notch, with both the bearclaw Sitka spruce top and the mahogany body featuring spectacular figuring, and the Brazilian rosewood fretboard and bridge displaying straight grain, rich with shades of brown and red. Banjo Killer is an apt nickname for this instrument– it's loud and bold with tons of articulation and even string balance. You can really hammer on it without hitting the ceiling, but the heavily scalloped bracing allows for the top to get moving plenty with the lighter touch of the fingers. In excellent+ condition with almost no evidence of playwear in the finish. Frets were lightly leveled in preparation for sale and show no signs of wear with plenty of height remaining.\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e2006\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBearclaw Sitka spruce top\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFigured mahogany back and sides\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMahogany neck w\/ Brazilian rosewood fretboard\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePearloid dot fret position markers\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrained ivoroid body and fingerboard binding\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 -3\/4\" nut width\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25-1\/2\"scale length\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabel signed by Bryan Sutton\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen-gear Waverly tuning machines w\/ grained ivoroid buttons\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrazilian rosewood bridge\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrazilian rosewood headstock overlay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\nIncludes hard-shell case\r\n\r\n ","brand":"Bourgeois","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53385605185836,"sku":"USEDBANJOKILLERSLOPED","price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0872\/2481\/1820\/files\/1_76267dd2-4989-408c-a08d-17a63f1eef0f.jpg?v=1782579864","url":"https:\/\/store.dustystrings.com\/products\/used-bourgeois-banjo-killer-slope-d","provider":"Dusty Strings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
