Bourgeois Introduces OM Acoustic Guitar
September 23, 1998American guitar maker Dana Bourgeois has introduced his new hand made version
of the OM guitar that will fit the needs of all guitar players at an affordable
price. The Bourgeois OM model compliments the already established dreadnaught
Ricky Skaggs Signature, Ricky Skaggs Country Boy models, and the Martin Simpson
Slope D cutaway model guitars.
The body components for the Bourgeois OM are a high grade spruce soundboard,
along with quarter sawn Hondorus Mahogany back, sides, and neck. To complete the
appointments of the Bourgeois OM we have used tortoise style binding on the body
as well as a tortise style pickguard. The mahogany spruce combination was chosen
to give the player a precise recording/performing insturment that has been used
by studio musicians for the last 50 years, as well as an instrument that will
complement other instruments the player already has in their "arsenal of
musicians tools."
As with all Bourgeois flat-top guitars, the Bourgeois OM features the unique
"Voiced Top", adirondack "red" spruce braces on tops/backs,
an ebony fingerboard/bridge, ebony bridge pins/strap pin, 25.5" scale, pearl
logo/inlays, and the individual attention that Dana Bourgeois' shop in Lewiston,
Maine has always produced with his 10 person team. This model along with all Bourgeois
guitars, have Dana Bourgeois personally voicing the tops on every guitar. With
over 20 years of experience building acoustic guitars, Dana brings his touch into
every instrument built in the Lewiston, Maine shop. Dana's experience has translated
into producing one of the the premier acoustic guitars being made in the United
States today and in the last 65 years. Bourgeois Guitars are made to sound great
today and to sound even better for your grandchildren in 30 years. For a dealer near you and more info, please call 800-433-5627. |
