The first instrument that I'll review is this beeautiful DB Signature!  I mean LOOK at this thing will you!  It is exquisitely simple aesthetically and yet ... sooooo luscious looking!!!  The custom Bourgeois herringbone top marquetry,  tasteful diamond & square fingerboard inlays,  highly beveled tortoiseshell pickguard,  burnished ebony belly bridge,   gold plated precision Waverly tuners with ebony buttons,  premium Adirondack top and that utterly SUPERB Madagascar rosewood back & sides ... all combine to create a particularly classic appearance!!!

   Madagascar rosewood,  believe it or not,  is at this point in time,  actually more difficult to procure than CITIES approved Brazilian rosewood ... especially sets like this with massive colour depth and distinct "Rio" grain patterns!  This dense tonewood has a very bell-like tap tone reminiscent of true Dalbergia Nigra and imparts that sweet upper midrange and well defined attack transient heard in the best golden era dreads!
