Bourgeois Guitars had not manufactured mandolins previously, with the instruments discussed representing the beginning of a new product line for the company. These new mandolins feature thermally cured or "aged" maple for the back, sides, and neck, as well as the tops. They also incorporate Bosnian maple backs, Adirondack spruce tops, and upgraded hardware like Bill James custom tailpieces and Golden Age tuners. This new endeavor aims to provide Bourgeois quality at a more affordable price point, with initial prototypes featuring an F-style design.
