Josh Baldridge – Bourgeois Acoustic Guitars – D – Vintage I appreciate how Bourgeois’ Asymmetrical Bracing Pattern works on this guitar. The lows are easily felt through the body by the player, but it doesn’t get overly boomy out in front of the instrument. Check out our collection of Bourgeois Guitars!

Josh Baldridge – Collings Acoustic Guitars – D2H A Traditional T Series 1 11/16 This is my favorite D2H A traditional that we’ve had in.
