The DBO (Deep Body O) combines traditional design elements to produce a modern instrument that is truly exceptional.
To design the DBO- we began with a traditional 12 fret O body shape. We softened the contours of the waist and added full dreadnought depth. Replacing the original short scale 12 fret neck with a long scale 14 fret neck and adjusting the soundhole closer to the neck body joint allows for an "extra" forward shifted X brace. This, in combination with the hand scalloped bracing frees up the soundboard in the lower bout for greater vibration. The end result is greatly improved bass response and increased projection.
