The 10,000th Guitar | Bourgeois Guitars

Watch the neck being carved on a special guitar for a significant Bourgeois milestone.

Bourgeois Guitars is getting ready to complete its 10,000th guitar. What started with luthier Dana Bourgeois building his first instrument in a college dorm room has grown into one the most respected companies specializing in high-end flattop guitars, and not surprisingly, the occasion will be celebrated with a special instrument, to be revealed later this spring. This video shows the guitar’s neck being carved, and it also gives a preview of the special inlay work on the 10,000th Bourgeois!
