2022 - Bourgeois OM Custom Sunburst - Aged Tone Adirondack Spruce & Brazilian Rosewood

Description The 2022 Bourgeois OM Custom Sunburst is a masterclass in acoustic guitar craftsmanship, representing the pinnacle of Dana Bourgeois’ lifelong dedication to tone, artistry, and uncompromising quality. Built from the rarest and most coveted tonewoods available, this instrument blends elegance, power, and responsiveness in a way that only Bourgeois can achieve. Though it is a pre-owned guitar, it remains in excellent condition, showing only the faintest, superficial finish scuffs that are purely cosmetic and nearly invisible unless inspected closely. It has clearly been well cared for, preserving both its refined visual appeal and its pristine tonal character. At the heart of this OM is an Aged Tone Adirondack Spruce top, paired with breathtaking Brazilian Rosewood back and sides. The top is supported by Aged Tone torrefied Adirondack Spruce braces, bonded with animal protein glue for an authentic, old-world resonance. This combination yields a voice that is rich, clear, and harmonically complex, with deep bass, shimmering highs, and a dynamic midrange. The long 25.5-inch scale offers exceptional projection and sustain, while the light 4 lbs 7 oz build weight makes it an absolute joy to hold and play. The craftsmanship extends far beyond the tonal core. A Honduran Mahogany neck offers warmth and stability, capped with an ebony fingerboard and a graceful ebony pyramid bridge. Nearly every detail reflects Dana Bourgeois’ signature style, from the DB Signature wood herringbone purfling and matching backstrip to the exquisite signature wood rosette. The guitar features luxurious Brazilian Rosewood bindings on the body, fingerboard, and headstock, along with a Brazilian Rosewood heel cap, tail wedge, and headstock veneer. These appointments, paired with the elegant sunburst finish, give the instrument an understated yet undeniable sophistication. This OM also showcases unique touches such as its square headstock with diamond head shape, the absence of a front headstock logo in favor of a tasteful decal on the back, and short-pattern bone slotted squares and diamonds fretboard inlays. Waverly gold tuners with snakewood buttons add both function and beauty, while a celluloid tortoise pickguard and bone bridge pins with black dots complete the aesthetic. The body is finished in a high-gloss aged tone treatment, the neck in a silky satin, and the headstock in a matching high gloss—each surface highlighting the wood’s natural character. Dana Bourgeois’ influence on modern lutherie cannot be overstated. Renowned for his tap-tuning expertise, his nuanced understanding of wood properties, and his pursuit of tonal perfection, Bourgeois has shaped the high-end acoustic guitar world for decades. The OM Custom Sunburst stands as a testament to his vision—an instrument that delivers the responsiveness of a finely aged vintage guitar while offering the precision, playability, and beauty of a contemporary masterpiece. Complete with its hard case, this guitar is more than an heirloom-quality collectible—it is an inspiring partner for a lifetime of music-making.
