Pantheon Guitars Announces The Bourgeois BK Slope D Acoustic Guitar

Pantheon Guitars announces the addition of the Bourgeois BK Slope D, modeled after a legendary 1995 Bourgeois Slope D dubbed "The Banjo Killer" by Nashville flatpicking ace, Bryan Sutton.

Bryan's original Banjo Killer has been used for numerous stage and recording performances, and was featured on the "Great Guitars" page of Acoustic Guitar magazine in October of 2000. Like the original, the BK Slope D features premium bearclaw sitka spruce and figured mahogany back and sides, Brazilian rosewood headstock, fretboard, bridge, and bridge plate, and Adirondack spruce bracing . Additional features include ivoroid binding, snakehead headstock, 1-23/32" nut width, ebony bridge pins, nickel/ivoroid Waverly tuners and a natural finish.

The first 30 guitars will be signed and numbered by Bryan Sutton and Dana Bourgeois.

Dana Bourgeois says: "The BK Slope D has a deep, broad tone. Through wood selection and voicing, we push it in the direction of a bigger bottom end, a lush top end, and greater volume, similar to the characteristics of Bryan's original BK. When I first started making slope shouldered Dreadnoughts, I went for something as different as possible from the balanced and focused sound of my standard Dreadnought. The Banjo Killer gets me back to that original idea."

List price: $4195
