Description

The 2022 Bourgeois L-DBO Deep Body is not merely an instrument — it is a living, breathing testament to Dana Bourgeois’ lifelong devotion to acoustic excellence. Revered as a master of voicing and tone refinement, Dana has forever shaped the modern boutique guitar landscape, and this L-DBO is a brilliant reflection of his enduring legacy. The heart of this creation lies in its Aged Tone Adirondack Spruce top, resonating with a vibrant, seasoned voice, while the Figured Walnut back and sides weave in rich, woody overtones and a crisp, articulate presence.

Every detail of this guitar speaks in hushed tones of elegance and craftsmanship. A subtle Single Ring Ivoroid Rosette circles the soundhole like a whisper, while Ivoroid body binding and Black/Ivoroid/Black purfling gracefully frame the striking walnut. The Contour Headstock, crowned with an Ebony veneer and adorned by a shimmering Mother-of-Pearl logo and "AJ" inlay, hints at the artistry that lies within. Beneath your fingertips, the Madagascar Rosewood fretboard, adorned with timeless MOP dot markers, invites endless exploration, anchored by the graceful Madagascar Rosewood bridge and delicate Ivoroid pins.

Traditional beauty meets modern ingenuity here: Waverly Nickel/Oval/Ivoroid tuners whisper precision, while an Ebony rectangle bridge, Celluloid Tortoise pickguard, and an Ivoroid heel cap complete the vintage-inspired aesthetic. Inside, the soul of the guitar is fortified with Aged Tone Torrefied Bracing, bonded by Animal Protein Glue, and brought to life with the full Aged Tone Package, ensuring a voice that is open, mature, and endlessly expressive.

With its ideal 1 23/32" nut width, 2.2" bridge spacing, and 25" scale length, the L-DBO Deep Body sings effortlessly, cradled by the player’s hands. Finished with a silky Satin Neck, a dazzling High Gloss Headstock, and a lustrous Aged Tone Body Finish, and weighing a mere 4 lb 1 oz, it promises not just sound, but poetry in every note. Nestled in a fine hard case, this Bourgeois stands ready to become an irreplaceable part of any musical journey — a guitar for those who hear not just sound, but soul.
