The Bourgeois Large Soundhole Madagascar Adirondack #10917 is a powerful and refined dreadnought built for players who demand clarity, headroom and projection. Inspired by an iconic large soundhole design that shaped generations of flatpickers, this Model D blends vintage authority with Bourgeois’ uncompromising craftsmanship and tonal precision.

At its core is an Aged Tone Adirondack spruce top with torrefied bracing, paired with striking Madagascar rosewood back and sides. The enlarged ivoroid-bound soundhole enhances immediacy, focus and projection, giving the guitar a quick, explosive response that cuts beautifully through a mix. The 25.5" long scale adds tension and power, making it especially suited for dynamic flatpicking, while still offering warmth and depth for more nuanced playing styles.

Elegant vintage details complete the package, including herringbone purfling with matching back strip, zipper backstrip, ebony fretboard and bridge, Waverly Relic oval tuners and a classic celluloid tortoise pickguard. Finished in Bourgeois’ Aged Tone treatment and assembled with animal protein glue for maximum resonance, this guitar is both a tribute to tradition and a masterfully voiced modern instrument. A serious tool for serious players.
