Introducing a guitar that transcends the boundaries of mere craftsmanship and ventures into the realm of artistry and legacy—the Blind Guitars B-XXIV: Dark Forest Ancient Cypress & The Tree Mahogany, Serial #100. This instrument is more than a musical tool; it is an heirloom, a piece of history, and a testament to the zenith of luthiery.

At the heart of this masterpiece lies a Dark Forest Ancient Cypress Top, carbon-dated at over 1,750 years old. This rare and storied wood carries with it an unparalleled tonal character—resonant, articulate, and hauntingly beautiful. It sings with a voice that is both otherworldly and grounded in the richness of centuries past, offering a dynamic range and clarity that feels almost alive.

The Modified 13-Fret Ditson Style 11 Body brings a vintage silhouette into modern refinement. Its unique geometry delivers a sweet, balanced midrange, with the added sustain and projection that only a meticulously designed 13-fret configuration can offer. The 24 3/4" scale length contributes to a warm, supple response that complements both intricate fingerstyle and bold strumming.

A neck of Pommele Mahogany and Wenge, seamlessly shaped and matte-finished, provides the perfect combination of strength, stability, and tactile luxury. Topped with a Ziricote Fingerboard adorned with Abalone Offset Dot Inlays, it is as visually stunning as it is comfortable to play. This choice of woods ensures silky playability and a rich tonal transfer that resonates with every note.

The interior sides, plated with Marbled Green Silver Leaf, are a hidden treasure—a nod to the luxurious craftsmanship that goes beyond what meets the eye.

Equipped with a Bone Nut and Saddle, medium 36% nickel-silver frets, and Waverly Tuning Machines with Abalone Buttons, the B-XXIV offers precision, stability, and an effortless playing experience. Its 16" Fingerboard Radius ensures smooth transitions across the frets, perfect for the most demanding techniques.

Encased in Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer for the body and a matte finish for the neck, this guitar not only looks stunning but also allows the woods to resonate freely. Every aspect of its construction is thoughtfully engineered to create a tone that is warm, clear, and deeply resonant.

Beyond its physical attributes, the B-XXIV includes elements that elevate it to a sensory experience:

A Full-Color, Bound Build Diary chronicles its creation, capturing the story of its journey from raw wood to refined art.

A Bespoke Fragrance, inspired by the scent of the Dark Forest Ancient Cypress and crafted by L'empreinte Ethérée in Biarritz, comes delivered in a 1930 Baccarat Crystal Bottle—a sensory homage to the ancient wood's essence.

This milestone guitar is not just a celebration of craftsmanship—it is a celebration of history, sound, and artistry. The Blind Guitars B-XXIV is more than a guitar; it is a masterpiece designed to inspire, captivate, and endure for generations.
