The Bourgeois OM Large Soundhole pairs thermally cured Adirondack with understated vintage details
With this Bourgeois OM Touchstone Large Soundhole, the character isn't found in lavish decorations, but in the combination of wood, proportions, and carefully selected details. The Thermo Cured Adirondack spruce top, paired with Indian rosewood back and sides, forms the foundation of this acoustic OM guitar. The natural color and high-gloss body finish let the materials speak for themselves. Medium Vintage Herringbone along the top, ivoroid binding, and an Extra Vintage Zipper Backstrip give the instrument a classic look, while the ebony fretboard is intentionally left free of inlay.
Adirondack spruce and Indian rosewood are an attractive combination for players seeking both definition and a rich tone. Expect a clear starting point for individual notes, with room for overtones and full chords. The OM size lends itself to fingerstyle and accompaniment playing, where you can discover different tonal colors through the force and position of your picking. The 25.5-inch scale length and 2 5/16-inch string spacing at the bridge offer an interesting foundation for guitarists who enjoy precise articulation.
The neck is crafted from a single piece of Honduran mahogany and features a diamond volute and a satin finish. The ebony fretboard has a 12-inch radius and Jescar 43080 fretwire. A 1 3/4-inch bone nut, ebony bridge, and Schaller GrandTune tuners with a nickel finish and Butterbean buttons complete the functional equipment. The square Bourgeois headstock shape carries a ziricote head cap veneer; the Bourgeois decal is located on the back of the headstock. Ebony bridge pins with mother-of-pearl dots, a tortoise pickguard, and the LSH ivoroid rosette align with the understated design. There is no pickup installed.
For the acoustic enthusiast who prefers listening to wood and touch rather than flashiness, this Bourgeois OM is an invitation to sit back and let every phrase speak.
