Player's Perspective
Music Store Live is proud to present this Les Bois Custom by Porter Guitars!
They've been well known for quite some time now for the absolutely incredible pickups that they make. As soon as we picked up one of their guitars, it became very clear that these guys know how to do it all! The level of refinment in this guitar is fantastic. The fretwork is on point and lets you dial in nice low action. The neck gives you a solid chunk of wood to hold onto but doesn't feel like a toothpick in your hands. It's going to remind you of a good classic 60's C-shaped neck. The bolt-on design keeps the sound nice and snappy and there are no compromises in tuning stability or sustain either. The neck is an absolute joy for your fretting hand and the roasted maple feels incredible. This particular piece has some heavy birdseye AND flame figuring on it! You don't see that all too often. Usually you have to pick between birdseye maple and flame. When you can get both, you know that's a winner.
The Porter Pickups in this are, of course, absolutely fantastic. The Smooth pickup in the neck and the Classic pickup will give you lots of versatility and, while maintain a balanced sound, it can dabble in traditional vintage tones and still handle more modern applications with ease. That's probably why these are the 2 most popular pickups that Porter makes. You can do just about anything with this guitar and yet it's such a simple and straightforward build.
This is a great guitar for hobbyists and pros alike. It's an extremely high quality guitar with an incredible ease of playing and refined sound that'll make you never want to put it down.
Manufacturer's Description
The Les Bois is named after Boise, ID and the word in french means “woods and trees.” The Les Bois was created for a more fixed pickup and single cut variation of our first guitar, the Khrosis. Both guitars utilize the same necks, but the Les Bois is a slightly bigger body and shows off more of the wood of the guitar. The Les Bois design leans itself to a familiar yet unique feeling guitar that is built to last!
