Tim Joyce and Tony Polecastro of Ols Town School Music Store are pretty infatuated with their Dana Bourgeois Banjo Killer, and with good reason. The super rare tonewoods - bear claw sitka spruce top and flamed mahogany back and sides - and slope-D shoulder profile combine to make a guitar with an extremely strong midrange presence and huge projection.

The guitar was dubbed the "Banjo Killer" by bluegrass flatpicking virtuoso Bryan Sutton, who named it thus because it's what he used to murder Béla Fleck.
