What We Think

A one of a kind smallbody from our favorite Maine luthier! Taking cues from several early 20th century smallbody guitars, this L-00/Nick Lucas/Stella mashup feels, looks, and plays like the masterful modern interpretation of all those wonderful, old school blues boxes that it is. We're wild about the Adirondack/Cherry (gorgeous stuff!) tonewood combo to begin with for its balanced, lively, crisp sound that achieves a bit more of the warm, woody warmth of Mahogany than the super bright, sometimes "pingy" sound Maple can have. The 13 frets to the body design and short scale length create a totally unique tonality that can be sweet and clear or thumpy 'n' jumpy depending on your right hand approach. This is the kind of guitar you want to grow old with--it's only going to get better with time!

Manufacturer's Description from Bourgeois

Dana Bourgeois' passion for acoustic guitars was fostered by those coveted instruments built in the pre-war era. Bourgeois Guitars' mission as a company has always been to merge our love for vintage guitar tone and design with modern innovation and playability. This foundation can be heard and seen clearly in our newest guitar, the Bourgeois L-DBO. Inspired by the classic guitars that emerged from the mid-west early in the last century, the Bourgeois L-DBO brings that distinctive sound that old-time and county-blues enthusiasts love into a new era. Utilizing Bourgeois' Aged Tone torrefaction technology, this guitar combines vintage small-body character and bark with Dana's signature articulation and response. The result is a versatile instrument with tons of personality, perfect for finger-style blues, old-time accompaniment, and comfortable couch-playing.
