Bourgeois OMC fingerstyle Brazilian/Adi top Steve Swan/Dana colloberation
 

Hi All,

I am considering selling my 2003 Dana Bourgeois/Steve Swan collaboration, OMC fingerstyle Guitar. Steve brought this stash of wood both Brazilian back and sides and Adirondack top. This is one special guitar and is in pristine condition. I would give is a 9.75 out of 10. I can find no dings. The Brazilian is awesome. This guitar plays as nice as it looks. I did not put in any electronics because I couldn't find a system that would do it justice.

Beautiful Bourgeois. As unusual as it sounds, I feel like I'd gladly add a second Brazilian Bourgeois OM to my stash if I could swing it.

Not Unusual
 

Not unusual to add a second Bourgeois to the stash! I've got 4 amazing rarities and that's not enough. Good luck with the sale!

Too much of a good thing
 

"Not unusual to add a second Bourgeois to the stash! I've got 3 and that's not enough. Good luck with the sale!"

I do believe that more of one of a good thing is better.

Thanks guys, it really does sound as good as it looks.

Jeff,

Do you have any pictures that feature the back of the guitar?

Also--and anyone can feel free to chime in here--how does this fingerstyle OM differ from "The Soloist" fingerstyle OM. It seems that all of the Soloists that I have seen have featured European spruce soundboards and, most of them, abalone rosettes. Are there any other differences apart from that?

Thanks,

Jonathan

Hey Jonathan;

I have played a couple of his other OM's and I couldn't tell you but Steve Swan had a hand in the build of this guitar. Steve has a guitar shop in the bay area I believe and buys and builds different guitars with AAA woods.

Sorry about the back pictures, new to adding them.

Best I could do with my talent. But the wood is beautiful.

Jeff

Beautiful guitar!!!
If I recall, the only differences between this guitar and a soloist is the fact that Steve's wood was used which was typical of the guitars he sells and the fact that the bridge pins are aligned straight instead of in a radius...
Love to have it, but I'm way too acoustic guitar rich right now and something would have to go...

wow
 

Great bunch of guitars you have there Dan, very impressive.

Jeff

Hi Dan,

Jeff

Thought I would give a great guitar a Saturday bump.

Will consider equal fingerstyle guitars.

Have a great weekend.

Friday Bump
 

Friday bump for those who don't surf past the third page.

Another shoot
 

Might consider trades for fingersytle guitars like a Benateau, or something similar.

Just a thought.
