Renowned for his collaborations with iconssuch as Jaco Pastorius, John McLaughlin, Paco de Lucia, and Stéphane Grappelli, Lagrene’s ability to seamlessly navigate traditional jazz and fusion inspired the creation of the BL6.After nearly three years of development, the Fibonacci BL6 reflects his desire for a versatile, genre-defying instrument. The BL6 is a fully hollow archtop guitar featuring a carved, hand-graduated spruce top and carved flame maple back and sides. With a slim 44mm (1.74”) body depth, a 400mm (15.75”) lower bout width, and a florentine cut-away, the BL6 ensures easy access to the upper frets, catering to Lagrene’s dynamic playing style. The guitar boasts a one-piece flame maple neck with a soft ‘D’ shape, a flat radius ebony fingerboard, a 43mm (1.69”) bone nut, a 635mm (25”) scale length, and 22 frets. Equipped with a handwound OX4 and a Kent Armstrong Vintage ’57 humbuckers the BL6 offers a robust electrical configuration. Finished in deep cherry nitrocellulose lacquer, the BL6 is as visually striking as it is sonically versatile. It is a ‘feather' light guitar with a resonant tone unplugged and dynamic performance when amplified.
