A 2016 Bourgeois Banjo Killer — built for players who demand exceptional headroom, projection, and note separation without sacrificing warmth or complexity. This example features a striking Bearclaw Figured Sitka Spruce top paired with a Figured Mahogany back, producing a powerful, articulate voice with quick response and rich harmonic detail. The Banjo Killer voicing is designed to cut through dense mixes, making it an outstanding flatpicking and lead instrument while still retaining the balance and nuance Bourgeois is known for. Elegant Ziricote appointments, ivoroid binding, and Waverly tuners highlight Dana Bourgeois’ meticulous craftsmanship.
