John ‘J.S.’ Bogdanovich is a great friend of ours and as it happens a premiere luthier of classical guitars, and the author of “Classic Guitar Making: A Modern Approach To Traditional Design”. This is a rare steel string crafted by John from highly figured Flame Maple that he had in his private stash. John topped it with Engelmann Spruce which adds a nice warmth to compliment the power of the Maple. And boy is it powerful, very responsive and lively. This is a strong guitar that excels at fingerstyle and can span genres from blues to rags to celtic and traditional. A great one…

His guitars have a quality of tone and voice that really sound full and robust, easily filling up a large room. Another thing that sets a Bogdanovich guitar apart from the rest is the perfection of build quality, they are gorgeous with nary a flawed motif. This particular Bogdanovich has been loved and has a few marks to show for it, but that just means that this thing has been played in well and has a full sonorous voice.

Add to Compare2008 Borges OM-28, Brazilian Rosewood/Adirondack Spruce
Gorgeous from tuners to tail, this 2008 OM-28 from Julius Borges is a tall glass of sweet, sweet water. Brazilian Rosewood back and sides with Adirondack Spruce on top, and throw in a few years for good measure to open up, and you’ve got a wide awake and singing OM ready for more action. Our understanding is that Borges has recently retired, so there won’t be any more of these works of flattop art coming along–if you’re looking for an opportunity to get into a powerhouse Borges OM-28 that holds up great for both fingers and picks, this is when that opportunity comes knocking.

Add to Compare2011 Borges L-00 Figured Maple/Adirondack
Julius Borges is one of the top names in replicating vintage guitars, play this gorgeous L-00 and you won’t be left wondering why. The term “3d” gets thrown around often when describing the figure of wood, and frequently the wood falls short of the description. That is not the case here with this set of Figured Maple. It is so intensely figured it almost looks like it is made from crumpled up paper! Paired with a straight grain Adirondack (Red) Spruce top, this guitar has head room and power to spare. Play this guitar with a delicate touch and it is instantly ready to respond with clear trebles and mids with warmth not often heard from maple. This is a guitar that will knock your socks off for a lifetime.

Add to Compare2000 Borges Barndance Slope D Indian/Adirondack Red
Some guitars are born out of direct callaboration between a great player and a great builder. Such is the case with the Borges Barndance. Blues legend Paul Geremia asked Julius Borges to look over two 1930’s Gibson J-35s he had and to create his own take on the Slope D design. Anyone who knows Julius’ work knows that he is one of the very best at recreating the finest guitars of the past while adding his own personal touches as well. The result is an outstanding Slope D that is powerful and brilliant with the energy of an old guitar, but the soundness and accuracy of a new guitar. A few minutes on this guitar and it’s easy to see why players like Buddy Miller and Paul Asbell own Borges guitars. We are thrilled to offer you this Indian Rosewood Borges Barndance.

Add to Compare2007 Borges 000-40 Brazilian/Adirondack Red
Julius Borges is all about tradition and traditional guitars. This guitar is a great example of what he does which is to make guitars based on traditional designs but with today’s precision, knowledge, materials and of course Julius innate abilities. A Borges guitar exemplifies clean workmanship and attention to detail which also help to make the tone so special. The power is tremendous and it has that 000 bite and push. The trebles are huge sounding and put the melody right out front. The bass is focused and has a bit of growl perfect for the blues. Julius makes very few guitars and we are thrilled to have this top notch example to offer you.
