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.
