#45941MB, fourteen-fret in the finest hand-selected Eastern Red Adirondack and mahogany, having a most unusual Autumn ‘Burst type shaded sunburst top, with plush lined hard shell case.
Every so often a guitar comes along that makes us stop in our tracks and say “whoa!” just like Steve Mitkowski does, enthusiastically and with much internal resonance. The sound, the looks, the instantaneous action, the immediacy of its woody, open acousticity, the unusual spidery black grain through the solid, genuine mahogany on the back – the grained ivoroid bound headstock, neck, top and back, the tiny pearl dotmarkers, the “gently gently” headstock shape with the polished ebony headplate that bears the bright pearl script Bourgeois angled logo, the actual Waverly brand open-geared prewar style tuners with the grained ivoroid buttons, the accurately vintage style striped tortoise pickguard with the beveled edges, the Eastern Adirondack “Red” spruce top with its delightfully wide grain and exquisite performance mannerisms, finished in an absolutely breathtaking Sunset-over-the-Canadian-Rockies sunburst, the thinnest crème-black top purfling, the concentric ring “sunburst Fiber/Ivoroid” inlaid soundhole rosette, the carved ebony belly bridge with the rolled bone compensated saddle, the comfortable 1 23/32nd” nut width, the black line back stripe and the vertical mahogany end graft all combine to make a guitar whose magic makes us mental; whose brilliance billows bountifully. Play it, see it, and try not to say “I must have it.”
