Bourgeois JOMC - OM cutaway Acoustic Guitar
This may be one of the most beautiful all koa guitars we've ever seen. The quality of this Koa is not to be understated, it's the best, the kind that is getting very hard to find these days. We've always loved Dana's JOMC design, it offers balance and power for the player who needs both. Dana is a master luthier that really knows how to work with Koa and this one has a gorgeous voice that is full and rich and very responsive. Close your eyes and you'd swear it was a premium Spruce top. The appointments are spectacular: a pyramid bridge, abalone top trim, bound and bordered fingerboard and lovely fretboard inlays. This is a rare and special Bourgeois in every way.

Player Reviews:
"Dana simply nailed this one both in terms of it's beauty and it's tone. This is an unbelievably striking guitar that immediately draws your attention. The Koa is extraordinary and the elegant appointments really accent it perfectly. But it's the tone I find really captivating on this guitar. It's very rich and charactered with clear trebles and full bass. It plays like a dream and is easy to hold while being big and powerful. I'm sure Dana would agree this is a special Bourgeois." - Paul Heumiller
"This guitar is not only striking to look at, it sounds great too. It's warm, clear and balanced. Just beautiful." - Al Petteway
