Professional Series
DB Jumbo Cutaway
The DB Jumbo Cutaway. With its "small", 16" jumbo outline, the Bourgeois DB Jumbo Cutaway combines Indian Rosewood and a Redwood top to produce a full, rich tonal palette. The medium-wide 1/34" nut and 2 5/16" belly bridge combined with a powerful 25.5" scale make this guitar an excellent choice for the hardcore fingerstyle guitarist. The Bourgeois Snakehead headstock with ebony veneer is subtly accented by a tiny white pinstripe. This look is followed through on the neck and body through a subtle black binding with tiny white pinstripe. The ebony fingerboard has no inlay. Modern Gotoh 510 Gold tuners round off the appointments of this understated, elegant and powerful guitar. Here's what Dana has to say about this guitar:
"In designing the DBJC, I wanted to develop a big guitar with a powerful, yet balanced voice for a serious fingerstyle player with a light to medium touch. I started with a large top, having a round, mechanically efficient lower bout capable of generating power and volume. Balance is difficult to achieve in large guitars, but absolutely critical to fingerstyle players. To address this issue, the DBJC employs medium-depth sides, several subtle bracing modifications, and an approach to voicing that differs from our other models. The redwood top provides a quick attack, ringing highs and long sustain; Indian rosewood is used on the back and sides for warmth and fullness of tone. I completed the package with fingerstyle-friendly string dimensions of a 1 3/4" nut and 2 5/16" bridge spacing."
