Dana Bourgeois is master luthier, a tonal technician and a respected artist in tonewoods. I've had a couple of his guitars and would put them up there with anyone else's. He built the original Schoenberg OM's for Martin, so he definitely knows something about small bodies (for some background read http://www.om28.com/schgtrs/AGart.html). I've been lusting for an OMC to go with my Slope-D for a while, but I have a great OM already so I'm just waiting on the right deal.

If you want to get a feel for what Dana knows about building guitars, go to www.bourgeoisguitars.com and read the stuff under "Dana In Print". The man knows his woods.

BTW, he's still building with Pantheon today, and the guitars coming out of there are as good as what he was making when he was running his own shop - some may even be better - so don't shy away from them.
