Taylor007,
I own a 1997 (pre-Pantheon) JOMC DLX with Bearclaw Sitka top and Wlanut B/S.
http://www.ronmacnutt.com/Bourgeois.htm The build quality, aesthetics and playability are right up there with the best of them.
I highly recommend that anyone that has even the slightest curiosity about how guitars are made take the time to review the sites quoted in the messages above. Dana does offer definitive statements on many tonewood subjects.
If you get the chance, play as many Bourgeois as you can!
Ron
