Description

Crafted with a balance of tradition and modern innovation, the Bourgeois OMSC is a masterpiece that resonates with both seasoned musicians and emerging artists alike. This steel-string acoustic guitar is a testament to Dana Bourgeois' craftsmanship, merging classic design with contemporary features to deliver an unparalleled musical experience. At the heart of its rich, vibrant sound lies the highly figured Italian Bear Claw Spruce top, which pairs exquisitely with the Master Grade Myrtle back, creating a tonal palette that is both warm and articulate.

The OMSC is designed with a 12-fret neck, strategically repositioning the bridge to enhance midrange projection, making it ideal for fingerstyle players seeking clarity and depth. With a mahogany neck and an ebony fingerboard, the guitar offers a smooth, responsive playing surface that feels comfortable in any setting. The exquisite detailing is further highlighted by flamed koa binding and herringbone purfling, adding a touch of elegance to its visual appeal.

Engineered for both beauty and function, this guitar features Waverly tuners with snakewood buttons, ensuring precise tuning stability. Although it lacks a pickup, its acoustic projection is second to none, making it a perfect choice for unplugged performances or studio recordings. Handmade in Lewiston, Maine, the Bourgeois OMSC is not just an instrument but an investment in quality and artistry, complete with a hard shell case for protection.

Bourgeois Guitar Review: OMSC [unbelievable!] - Acoustic Life

acousticlife.tv

The Bourgeois OMSC captivates with its stunning craftsmanship and rich tonal quality, thanks to its torrefied Italian Spruce top and master grade cocobolo back. The guitar offers exceptional resonance and playability, making it a joy to handle. However, the custom nature of this guitar comes with a hefty price tag, which may deter some musicians. For those willing to invest, the experience of designing a personalized instrument is immensely rewarding. Overall, this guitar is a delightful choice for serious players seeking a unique sound and aesthetic.

Bourgeois OMSC Odyssey - Peghead Nation

pegheadnation.com

The Bourgeois OMSC Odyssey blends stunning aesthetics with exceptional playability, showcasing a master-grade Brazilian rosewood body and a responsive redwood top. The innovative design features like the armrest bevel and soundport enhance comfort and sound clarity, making it a fingerstyle dream. However, its price tag of nearly $23,000 may deter some musicians. Ultimately, while it excels in craftsmanship and tone, the financial investment could be a hurdle for those looking for a more accessible option.
