Bojois' unique L-DBO body, with its slender top bracing and large soundhole design, produces an overwhelming volume and dynamics that you wouldn't expect from its small size.\u003cbr\u003e Thanks to hand-voicing supervised by Dana Boujoa and Adirondack spruce bracing, the guitar beautifully blends a bluesy, crisp, and rustic sound with the clear, sparkling tone characteristic of high-quality Hawaiian koa.\u003cbr\u003e Combined with the supple tension unique to the 632mm scale, it produces an exquisite response that makes you want to keep playing, from delicate fingerpicking to rich, expressive strumming.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Bourgeois Guitars \/ Touchstone Series -\u003cbr\u003e Alongside Collings and Santa Cruz, Bourgeois Guitars reigns supreme as one of the finest American boutique guitar brands.
