That’s because Bourgeoius have their own factory for their guitars, while their mandolins are made by Eastman. I would expect Bourgeoius mandolins to sound similar but a bit more refined than Eastmans considering the fancier materials and higher price, but it’s really hard to tell what a mandolin really sounds like till you play it.
I guess I'll just stay right here, pick and sing a while...
