Dana Bourgeois is known around the world for his superb craftsmanship and also as one of the foremost authorities on the voicing, selection and utilization of fine acoustic tonewoods. This large-bodied OM-style guitar in Adirondack and East Indian Rosewood is an excellent example of Dana’s ability to bring out the best tonal qualities in his instruments. The Adirondack top has had plenty of time to open up, and the results are a sweetness and clarity in the upper registers while providing plenty of low end growl. A very versatile instrument with excellent playability.

The vintage 1993 Bourgeois Jumbo OM (JOM) fills a wonderful niche for players who demand a balanced voice, but want just a bit more bottom end and punch. This one has the patina of age on it’s top and it’s gorgeous voice. The Rosewood and Spruce body is very responsive and lively. Players with a light touch will be rewarded with plenty of tone but players who like to hit hard will be equally satisfied. This is a great example of Dana’s work from the early days when he was a one man shop.

This is a Bourgeois JOMC made for the Winter NAMM show in 2009 and numbered #9 of 10. This Jumbo OM Cutaway has all the best materials as you would expect in a show guitar. The Brazilian rosewood is dark and rich, the Adirondack top is superb with even grain. Together they give this Bourgeois guitar a punchy voice with full bass and articulate trebles. The 15 1/2″ body adds big bass response to go along with the OM style projection. This guitar strums as well as it fingerpicks making it a very capable gigging guitar as well.

The Plantation is a top-of-the-line D-150 from Dana Bourgeois and company. This particular Plantation has one of the prettiest sets of Brazilian you’ll see anywhere, it’s spectacular. The top is Master Grade Adirondack Red Spruce, something Dana is famous for, he knows how to voice Adirondack perfectly. To compliment the premium woods there’s a bound neck and headstock with white perflings on both. Now for the good stuff, this thing sounds amazing! It is exhuberant, lush and strong. Single lines and chords are simply perfect.
