Default **SOLD**2008 Bourgeois Custom OM

$3,395 plus any PP fees and $100 shipping. Comes in original Bourgeois case (essentially unused). No Trades

Original owner of a wonderful Bourgeois Custom OM with Pao Rosewood (Pao Rosa, not Pao Ferro) and Adirondack Spruce top. The Pao Rosewood was harvested in Africa in the 1960s, so the back and sides are around 60 years old and the tone shows it. Dana has been very high on this tonewood for sometime, and still offers it as an option. This is an outstanding example of Dana’s work and includes several custom options – the Pao Rosewood back and sides, DB Signature Herringbone purfling/binding on the top, Brazilian headstock veneer, bound fretboard (black) and Short Pattern Slotted Squares and Diamonds fretboard inlay. The guitar also has a K&K Trinity system. Additionally, the frets are in great shape. There are a few dings, but nothing major or through the finish (See pictures in link for close ups).

This is a guitar that excels at any style of playing – finger picking, flatpicking, you name it - extraordinarily versatile. It is articulate, full, clear and warm sounding and if you want to dig in, it can get very loud.

Just for clarification, the wood is Pao Rosa, not Pao Ferro. Here is a link to something I just found from the Unofficial Martin guitar Forum
- https://umgf.com/pao-rosewood-t61820-s20.html .

Worth a read if one is interested, the thread explains things pretty well. John Slobod, of Circa guitars, loves the stuff, among other luthiers. Pretty rare and hard to come by, for what that is worth.
