Bourgeois GACCB/DE-KOA-LE Sitka/Koa Grand Auditorium Acoustic Guitar #1247

The Bourgeois GACCB/DE-KOA-LE has a really distinct feel right from the first chord. With a torrefied Sitka spruce top and figured koa back and sides, it blends a broken-in response with a more lively, reflective character from the koa. The grand auditorium body keeps things balanced and comfortable, and the natural gloss finish lets the koa’s figuring stand out without needing anything extra.

There is a nice contrast in the way this guitar responds. The torrefied Sitka top gives it a quick, open attack with a bit of dryness, while the koa adds a tighter low end and a bit of sparkle on the high end. It does not get overly deep like rosewood, but it stays clear and punchy, which makes it really useful for players who want definition in their chords and a bit of cut for lead work. It feels responsive whether you are playing lightly or digging in.

The neck has a soft V profile that gives you something solid to hold onto without feeling bulky, paired with a 25.5 inch scale and a slightly narrower 1 23/32 inch nut width that keeps things quick under the fingers. The ziricote fingerboard and bridge add a crisp, clean response, and the overall setup feels dialed in and precise. This is a well-balanced Bourgeois that offers a mix of clarity, responsiveness, and a unique tonal flavor from the koa.
