Description

Introducing The Black Rabbit L-DBO from Bourgeois Guitars—a masterclass in craftsmanship, tone, and visual artistry, now available at Eddie’s Guitars. This one-of-a-kind instrument represents the pinnacle of acoustic guitar design, created by the legendary Dana Bourgeois, whose name is synonymous with innovation and excellence in the acoustic world. For decades, Bourgeois has been a guiding force in boutique luthiery, blending old-world techniques with modern precision to redefine what an acoustic guitar can be. The Black Rabbit is a shining example of his uncompromising vision.

At the heart of this guitar is a premium Adirondack spruce top, supported by Aged Tone torrefied Adirondack spruce braces for unmatched responsiveness and depth. The back and sides are crafted from stunning curly maple, matched with a curly maple neck and end wedge to form a tonewood ensemble that’s both visually and sonically brilliant. Its rich, black Aged Tone finish—fully buffed across the top, back, sides, neck, and headstock—sets a bold stage for an array of presentation-level appointments rarely seen outside of private custom builds.

Every inch of this guitar is adorned with elegance: abalone 41-style top purfling, an abalone single-ring rosette, ebony bindings across the body, fretboard, and headstock, and a floral inlay motif that winds gracefully across the headstock and fretboard. The 14-fret ebony fingerboard features striking Black Mother of Pearl block inlays surrounded by abalone floral accents, continuing onto an ebony rectangular bridge with complementary presentation inlays. Waverly gold tuners with ebony buttons add a final touch of luxury and functionality.

With a short 25" scale, 1 3/4" nut width, and 2 5/16" bridge spacing, The Black Rabbit offers supreme comfort and playability. Weighing in at just 4 lb 3 oz, this guitar is as light and lively as it is visually captivating. It’s assembled using traditional animal protein glue, ensuring maximum resonance and tonal integrity over time.

Whether you’re a collector, performer, or tone connoisseur, the Bourgeois Black Rabbit is more than an instrument—it’s a statement. Singular in design, exquisite in execution, and rich with the legacy of Dana Bourgeois' expertise, this guitar is truly without equal. Comes with a hard case and a signature label, marking it as a certified heirloom-worthy piece.
