Description The Bourgeois Touchstone Signature OM is a masterfully crafted acoustic guitar that blends tonal sophistication with visual elegance, designed for discerning musicians who seek vintage-inspired tone and refined modern craftsmanship. Built in collaboration between Bourgeois and Eastman, this OM (Orchestra Model) offers boutique-level appointments and tonal complexity in a guitar that speaks to both the seasoned professional and the serious enthusiast. At the heart of its sound is a torrefied Sitka spruce top, carefully heat-treated to replicate the broken-in tonal qualities of aged wood. This process delivers a rich, articulate voice with enhanced resonance, quick response, and exceptional dynamic range. Supporting this top are Adirondack spruce braces, renowned for their strength and responsiveness, adding headroom and clarity that excels under both fingerstyle and flatpicking techniques. The back and sides are constructed from Madagascar rosewood, a prized tonewood known for its bell-like overtones, lush low end, and sparkling highs. This pairing with torrefied Sitka yields a guitar that is both harmonically rich and incredibly balanced. The 14-fret Honduran mahogany neck offers stability and warmth, complementing the guitar’s overall tonal complexity. The appointments on the Touchstone Signature OM are nothing short of exquisite. The ebony fingerboard and bridge not only provide durability and smooth playability but also contribute to the guitar’s articulate tone. The fingerboard is adorned with the elegant Arrows & Diamonds inlay, a refined touch that reflects Bourgeois’s attention to aesthetic detail. This motif is carried over to the ziricote headstock veneer, which also features a mother-of-pearl Bourgeois logo, tying the design together with understated sophistication. Further elevating its visual appeal, the guitar features ziricote binding on the body, fingerboard, and headstock—an uncommon and luxurious detail that adds depth and contrast. The Signature Herringbone purfling, Signature rosette, and Signature backstrip complete the body’s tasteful and traditional look with a modern twist. Hardware and playability are equally refined. The Schaller Grand Tune gold tuning machines with ebony buttons ensure smooth, accurate tuning while complementing the guitar’s aesthetic. Ivoroid bridge pins, a bone nut and saddle, and 25.5" scale length contribute to optimal string tension, sustain, and clarity. The guitar features a 1 23/32" nut width and 2.2" bridge spacing, offering a comfortable feel for both fingerstyle players and strummers alike. Finished with a high-gloss body for maximum visual impact and a satin neck and headstock for smooth playability, the Bourgeois Touchstone Signature OM is as much a joy to play as it is to behold. Delivered in a high-quality hard case, this instrument represents the pinnacle of collaborative craftsmanship and tonal artistry.
