We’re excited to welcome our first instrument from Blind Guitars of France: the B-24, a refined mid-sized steel-string built with care and an eye for both sonic depth and aesthetic detail.
The top is torrefied Adirondack spruce, providing both headroom and a quick response, with the added warmth and openness that comes from torrefaction. Paired with African Blackwood for the back and sides, the tonal palette leans rich and dark, with excellent sustain and complex overtones—ideal for fingerstyle and light strumming alike. The sides are double laminated with ovangkol, contributing strength and a more rigid box for enhanced projection.
The neck is torrefied flamed maple, offering a smooth playing feel and additional stability. Rocklite bindings and brass body purfling add a subtle, refined contrast to the high gloss polyurethane finish, while the satin neck keeps the playing experience fast and comfortable. The fingerboard and bridge are ebony, with a 1 3/4″ bone nut and 2 1/4″ string spacing at the bridge.
Brass dots and a brass logo complement the aesthetic while matching the bell brass frets—a subtle but classy touch. It ships in a Crossrock carbon fiber case.
A strong debut at Dream from Blind Guitars, and one we’re glad to finally feature.

The pairing of torrefied Adirondack and African Blackwood gives it depth and presence right out of the case—no waiting around for this one to open up. The build is crisp and confident, and the brass touches add just enough individuality. 
his one initially struck me with the immediacy of its attack, like an archtop with a defined punch. Then I let the notes linger and ring out, and was struck anew, this time by the bell-like overtones in the trebles and articulate depths in the mids. Individual notes stand out in the mix, giving the voice this fascinating blend of round definition and glassy punch. Some of that could be coming from the African Blackwood-Adirondack Spruce combination, but I suspect it's got a lot to do with Virgile's unique B-24 shape. It's reminiscent of the 1900s Ditsons with a flared lower bout, adding room for more air without building out into a bigger body. 1 in stock
