Hi Folks,
Up for sale is my 2016 Bourgeois Custom OM/SS in Italian Spruce and East Indian Rosewood. This guitar was completed in August of 2016 making it 15 months old.
This is an extremely warm and responsive OM. It has a full tonal palette and displays all of the string-to-string balance that Bourgeois guitars are known for. The combination of Italian/EIR gives this OM a very rich and musical sound, and this particular guitar has a little more mid-range than is usually found with rosewood.
Aesthetically, this is a very classy looking guitar. Very understated and elegant, letting the beauty of the natural wood shine through.
This guitar is in excellent condition. The only marks that I could find are a few very shallow indentations on the bridge from when I was pulling out bridge pins. You have to look very closely to see them. Also worth noting is that this guitar originally had Waverly gold tuners with butterbean knobs, which I changed to Waverly nickel with snakewood buttons.
