Virgile Pilon, the builder behind Blind Guitars, is just getting better and better! Classic yet elevated, this L-00 inspired B-26 pairs Honduran mahogany with a French Alpine spruce top, all under a drool-worthy tobacco sunburst. Virgile calls this the "model recommended for players who prefer the sweetness and ease of playing a small guitar but require more balance and volume," and that he does deliver. It may be short-scale and small for maximum comfort and playing ease, but he combines a light construction with a modern double X-bracing and 12-fret configuration, ensuring loads of punch and crisp clarity. This guitar won't be boxed in—it can tackle a heavy plectrum as well as a lighter fingerstyle touch equally well.
The sunburst continues onto the neck, which has a silky matte finish and a soft V shape for effortless position shifting. Virgile's signature Art Deco-inspired bridge, headstock, and backstrip design complete a stellar package.
