SOLD - 1993 Bourgeois Guitars OM - Orchestra Model Acoustic Guitar

There is no substitute for playing time to open up a guitar and allow it to speak with the eloquence of time. This guitar is #53 from Dana and its voice is very moving. At once strong and proud and warm and lush. The beautiful straight-grained Brazilian and Cedar work in harmony to produce a number of tones from inspiring to cantankerous. It's a real treat to see an amazing instrument from this time in Dana's career.

Dream Guitars Player's Review:
"This is a special Bourgeois. Rarely have I heard one speaking so completely. The treble strings are simply glorious, they sing out with depth and sweetness. Playing melody notes is pure joy on this guitar. The bass behaves like an old prewar Martin, it's big, round and warm. The sustain of this instrument is wonderful and the overtones are heavenly. Can you tell I like this guitar?" - Paul Heumiller

Another Satisfied Dream Guitars Customer:
"It is a beautiful piece and just as you described. I am very happy with and thank you for your service. Thanks again, and when I'm ready for another guitar I'll be sure to check with you." - John W.
