This 2016 Bourgeois “Whyte Rabbit” has a voice that’s equal parts clarity, warmth, and sparkle—not to mention its blazing white aesthetic. When Dana was approached to build an all-white guitar, he took to the idea with gusto. Result: the semi-transparent Whyte Rabbit L-DBO before you now, based off of the limited run of Bourgeois L-DBO Presentation models (see here for the last one we sold: https://www.dreamguitars.com/shop/2016-bourgeois-l-dbo-presentation-le-9-of-10-ziricote-adirondack-spruce-007563.html). If you were at the 2017 Winter NAMM show, odds are you spotted this snowy gem at the Bourgeois booth!
Figured Maple back and sides are paired with an Aged Tone Adirondack Top, Maple bridge, and MOP-and-Abalone encrusted fretboard for a dazzling effect. The previous owner outfitted this handsome powerhouse with an L.R. Baggs Anthem SL pickup (which sounds rich and acoustic, by the way), and upgraded the case to a custom-fit Hoffee number in black and green.
We love the voice of this Whyte Rabbit. A delicious balance between richness and crisp definition, this Bourgeois is a fantastic fingerpicking guitar, and it soaks up open tunings particularly well.
