The Bourgeois Guitars Banjo Killer is a slope shoulder dreadnought guitar and one of the most popular models in the Bourgeois lineup. At first glance, it is an ordinary Slope-D with a mahogany body and a spruce top. At second glance, however, it becomes clear that this is a very special instrument : the top is made of Sitka spruce, which has a striking "Bearclaw" grain, and the body is made of Honduras mahogany, one of the most popular and highest quality Mahogany species. The body also has a grain that immediately catches the eye of the viewer. This wood combination creates a balanced yet assertive sound that immediately captivates every guitarist. The classic optics of the guitar is completed by the Vintage tuning machines and the thin, high-gloss finish .

The Bourgeois Guitars company is known for the handcrafted production of top-class acoustic guitars. All instruments belong to the absolute premium segment. Dana Bourgeois founded Bourgeois Guitars in 1992 after developing a passion for learning and building quality guitars while studying at Bowdoin College in Maine. He built his own guitars in the early 1970s and opened a small shop in Maine in 1977 where he worked as a guitar maker and repairer.
Over the years, Bourgeois Guitars has earned an excellent reputation because the company places great value on true craftsmanship and excellent sound. Only first-class and carefully selected materials are used for the instruments, because quality always comes first. The brand also impresses with its diversity, so guitarists have many different models to choose from, including dreadnoughts, OM models, jumbos and more. Bourgeois guitars are not just acoustic guitars, but lovingly crafted works of art.
