2002 Bourgeois Jumbo Prototype Acoustic Electric GuitarI played this guitar at Cream City Music in Milwaukee today. Wow! Some guitar. Nice deep sound and loud. It appears to be in great shape. Plays like a dream. I'm not going to buy this one but I believe that whoever does is getting a wonderful instrument. IF someone wants to buy it and keep it in Milwaukee so they'll have one here if they ever visit, I'll volunteer to give it a good home. No charge.

Odd that they would add a soundhole pickup and call it a “prototype”. Even in 2002 these were pretty typical. Maybe because production guitars don’t normally get that type of pickup?

I think that is the store's description; Acoustic Electric. The guitar was a Borgie prototype acoustic. Then the previous owner added the M1a, this making it Acoustic/Electric.
I'm back to using my old M1a and an M80 in two guitars. But I spray-paint the plastic covers black. Personally I don't care for that chunk of ivory colored plastic shining out of the soundhole of a beautiful wood guitar. It calls to much attention away from the aesthetics of the guitar. Probably great marketing for LR Baggs. But I think a pickup should be heard and not seen (as much as possible).

It's probably a prototype even before the owner added the pickup. The pickup is not part of the guitar.
