In Stock Chris Bozung 'CB' Instruments

SOLD - Chris Bozung Guitars, CB Guitars, 2007 Bozung Special: We custom ordered this gorgeous guitar as a match to the 'J' we just sold, see below. We requested premium Brazilian Rosewood and Adirondack spruce for a powerful prewar style tone. From the CB website: "Although the width of the body is slightly smaller than a dreadnought the CB Special's extra-deep body means that it gives up very little "air space" to its larger-body cousin. The extra depth of the body provides the volume and power of a larger body, while the slightly smaller body width serves to focus the tone. The CB Special, aside from being an exceptionally beautiful instrument, is a pint-sized powerhouse whose surprising volume, clarity and focus of tone will satisfy even the most experienced and discerning player." We couldn't agree more, this is a little monster... This instrument features:

Comments: “After working at Dream Guitars for a couple of years, it takes a lot to impress me. These new Chris Bozung guitars impress me. I love the vintage Gibson vibe, but they sound so much better than the old Gibsons. This Special is reminiscent of the Gibson Nick Lucas with its deeper body size, but sounds like a combination of a prewar Gibson and a Martin. Very cool. ” – Al Petteway

"Well Chris [Bozung], you impressed Al, no need for me to add much else except I can tell you that I agree wholeheartedly. I love this guitar and I can assure you I'll play it a bunch while it's here..." - Paul Heumiller

SOLD Chris Bozung Guitars, CB Guitars, 2007 Bozung J: We hosted fingerstylist extraordinaire Pete Huttlinger for a concert a while back and he proudly showed us his Bozung J guitar. He proceeded to play it in the show and we immediately understood why so many of our customers were telling us about Chris Bozung's CB guitars. Chris builds a wonderfully traditional style guitar with a clear, articulate voice that's full and powerful. We asked him to give this one an old fashion sunburst, bound headstock and to dress it up just enough to be stunning. The Brazilian here is old growth and top notch, salvaged from an old Beam in Brazil and the top is premium Adirondack. We are proud to offer this our first Bozung guitar. This instrument features:

Comments: “This is one of the most impressive new guitars that I've had the pleasure to play. It's tone is rich and controlled. I love it. ” – Al Petteway

"We custom ordered this beauty after seeing Pete Huttlingers Bozung. Chris outdid himself on this guitar, it's breathtakingly beautiful and sounds as good as it looks. The Brazilian is top notch and paired here with Adirondack it has that roaring prewar sound. It's versatile enough for fingerstyle or flatpicking and we gave it wider spacings so you can do both well. This is a stunning guitar, our first of many Bozungs." - Paul Heumiller
