Bourgeois The Deep Purple Rabbit L-DBO - Adirondack Spruce & Quilted Maple #11285

The Bourgeois The Deep Purple Rabbit L-DBO is a fearless expression of Dana Bourgeois’ lifelong pursuit of tone, craft, and character. One look at this guitar and you know it is something rare. The deep purple finish glows with depth and movement, revealing every ripple of the quilted maple back and sides while the Adirondack spruce top shimmers with a regal intensity that feels both modern and timeless.

Dana Bourgeois has spent decades refining how an acoustic guitar should respond in the hands of a player, and this L-DBO is a perfect example of that philosophy brought to life. The Adirondack spruce top is paired with aged tone torrefied Adirondack braces, voiced for power, clarity, and dynamic range. This combination delivers a fast, open response with remarkable headroom, allowing the guitar to speak effortlessly whether played softly or driven hard. The quilted maple back and sides add focus and articulation, giving each note a clear edge and a beautiful, piano like separation.

The visual details are every bit as considered as the sound. Ebony body, fretboard, and headstock binding frame the instrument with quiet authority, while the single ring ivoroid rosette and absence of a backstrip let the woods and color do the talking. A quilted maple end wedge, ebony heel cap, and English holly headstock veneer elevate the presentation without excess. The presentation headstock inlay and Bourgeois logo underscore that this is a flagship level build.

Playability is exceptional. The short 25 inch scale, 1 23/32 inch nut width, and 2.2 inch bridge spacing create a relaxed, inviting feel that suits both fingerstyle and articulate flatpicking. The 14 fret ebony fretboard features presentation mother of pearl blocks paired with abalone floral inlays, adding elegance without distracting from the instrument’s purpose. The English holly rectangular bridge with presentation inlays anchors the strings with precision, while bone pins with black dots and animal protein glue reflect Dana Bourgeois’ commitment to traditional, tone forward construction.

Finished in a fully buffed deep purple gloss across the body, neck, and headstock, this guitar feels as refined as it looks. Waverly gold tuners with white pearl buttons provide smooth, reliable tuning and a final touch of understated luxury. Signed with the Bourgeois signature label and housed in its hard case, this L-DBO weighs in at an impressively light 4 lb 4 oz, resonant and alive the moment you lift it.

The Deep Purple Rabbit L-DBO is not just a striking visual statement. It is a serious, responsive instrument built by one of the most respected voices in modern luthiery, designed for players who want tone, individuality, and craftsmanship at the highest level.
