Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
This woody blues-box perfectly captures the sounds of yesteryear. The Adirondack top has loads of headroom and brings a nice shimmer to the top end of the frequency spectrum - and boy, does this guitar love a heavy right hand! Never be afraid to dig in with the L-DBO's. The 'hog back and sides are warm and balanced, which suit the smaller body perfectly for the fingerstyle blues. The sunburst finish was expertly applied by Dana and mesmerizes all who see it. Whether you're looking for a lifetime couch companion, or a seasoned warrior to bring to the blues battlefront - this piece is the right fit.
From Bourgeois Guitars
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.
