{"product_id":"l-dbo","title":"Bourgeois \"The Artist\" L-DBO 12-Fret Maple","description":"\u003cp\u003eInspired by prewar small-body designs, the Bourgeois L-DBO 12-Fret packs the distinctive sound that old-time and country blues players love. With its 12-fret neck, \"Aged Tone\" torrefied Adirondack Spruce top, and stunning Curly Maple back and sides, this L-DBO combines vintage small-body character and bark with the note articulation and response of a hand-voiced, custom-built guitar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Bourgeois L-DBO 12-Fret is a versatile instrument with tons of personality—perfect for fingerstyle blues or old-time accompaniment, but it would be comfortable and approachable for any player, especially around the living room. Thanks to its torrefied Adriondack Top, it balances shimmering trebles with Maple richness, mid-range punch, and more depth than you might expect from a small body. It cuts and bites when you need it to, but it's also sweet and subtle when you play softly. Animal Protein glue construction throughout helps this brand new guitar breathe like a seasoned vintage treasure. It has a wide dynamic range and plenty of sustain, and its tone follows your right-hand technique\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe ordered this L-DBO 12 in natural finish to show off the stunning Maple flame. The celluloid Firestripe pickguard is the perfect accent, and the Ivoroid top binding with black\/white\/black purfling are elegant, but understated. The Ziricote fingerboard and bridge both show intricate character and grain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JXK3VUtVT1g?si=9KxuBpeMj1R9ma4w\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: LDBO-12 \"The Artist\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop: Aged Tone Adirondack Spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack \u0026amp; Sides: Curly Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 25\" Short Scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRosette: Single Ring Rosette Ivoroid on end\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEndpiece Inlay: Body Wood, No Purfling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Binding: Ivoroid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePurfling: Black, Ivoroid on end, Black w\/ B\u0026amp;S Purfling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHead Shape: Contour Headstock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHead Veneer: Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHead Inlay: Mother of Pearl Bourgeois Logo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF.B.\/Bridge Wood: Ziricote Fretboard and Bridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretboard Inlay: Mother of Pearl Dots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretboard Binding: Matching with Fingerboard, No Purfling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut\/Bridge Width: Nut- 1-3\/4\" Bridge- 2-5\/16\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeel Cap: Ivoroid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuners: Waverly Nickel\/Oval\/Ivoroid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: Rectangular Bridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePins: Ivoroid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard: Celluloid Firestripe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabel: Dana Bourgeois Signature Label\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlue: Animal Protein\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Finish: Satin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeadstock Finish: High Gloss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Finish: High Gloss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop Color: Natural\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecial Options: Aged Tone Torrefied Bracing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis L-DBO 12-Fret is a joy to play.
