Bourgeois The Natural L-DBO Professional Series Satin - Sitka Spruce & Mahogany #11170

Bourgeois The Natural L DBO Professional Series Satin is a refined, purpose built instrument that highlights Dana Bourgeois’ lifelong pursuit of balance, responsiveness, and tonal honesty. This model pairs classic tonewoods with meticulous voicing and understated cosmetics, resulting in a guitar that feels alive in the hands and effortlessly musical across a wide range of styles.

The Sitka spruce top delivers clarity, headroom, and quick dynamic response, while mahogany back and sides add warmth, focus, and a dry, woody character that fingerstyle players and flatpickers both prize. Adirondack spruce bracing brings added power and elasticity, allowing the top to move freely and translate even the lightest touch into sound while still offering plenty of volume when pushed. At just 3 pounds 10 ounces, this L DBO is remarkably light and resonant, contributing to its open, breathing feel.

Visually, the Natural series leans into quiet elegance. A single ring ivoroid rosette, ivoroid body and fingerboard bindings, and black ivoroid black top purfling frame the satin finished body with tasteful restraint. The contour headstock wears an ebony veneer and ivoroid Bourgeois logo, while ziricote is used for both the fingerboard and rectangular bridge, offering striking grain and excellent tonal transfer. Tiny ivoroid dot inlays, an ivoroid heel cap, mahogany endpiece inlay, and matching ivoroid pins keep the aesthetic cohesive and refined. Schaller nickel tuners with oval ivoroid buttons complete the look while providing smooth, dependable tuning.

Playability is a standout feature. The 14 fret neck joint, 25 inch short scale length, 1 23 32 inch nut width, and 2.20 inch bridge spacing strike an ideal balance between comfort and precision, making complex fingerstyle passages, chordal work, and lead lines feel equally natural. Thin satin finishes on the body, neck, and headstock enhance resonance and give the guitar a broken in, organic feel right out of the case.

Finished with Bourgeois’ signature label, standard glue construction, and delivered in a hard case, The Natural L DBO Professional Series Satin is a sophisticated working musician’s instrument. It offers classic American tone, modern refinement, and the unmistakable touch of one of the most respected builders in the acoustic guitar world.
