What We Think

An absolutely dynamite 00!  Dana Bourgeois' distinct take on a certain smallbody Gibson classic has thrilled us with every iteration we've recieved, from Mahogany to Maple, but this one might take the cake for us.  Cherry offers the woody, sweet, airy qualities that Mahogany is known for while also managing to be a bit more articulate, insistently sustaining, and so, so lively.  Blues fingerstyle is just the beginning for an instrument like this--who knows what territory you'll wander into with this one of a kind L-DBO in hand!

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.
