When we ordered our first OMS with Macassar Ebony, many a jaw dropped to the floor. While we try to be as objective as possible, we get attached to certain special guitars. This stunning OMS quickly became a shop favorite and with good reason. The first sold the day after we received it. We immediately ordered a second one with the same specifications; and it sold right away as well. We made a few slight changes on this one, but it is just as spectacular as the past two!
The Bourgeois Custom OMS is ideal for both fingerstyle and those looking for an instrument that frets effortlessly. Often times we come across guitars that almost look too gorgeous to play. But, when it comes to Maccasar Ebony; you just won't be able to help yourself. Macassar Ebony boasts a lot of presence with a broad dynamic range. It has a strong bass, lower mids, and incredible sustain. European Spruce yields a crisp tone with strong fundamentals. Each note carries with complexity and richness. Fingerstyle players will appreciate the ease of articulation across the entire fretboard.
In addition to it's amazing tone, this guitar features appointments such as an Abalone Rosette; the Bourgeois "Soloist" top, back, and side purflings; Ziricote body binding; gold Waverly tuners with Ebony buttons; a "Soloist" Heel Inlay; short Pattern squares & diamonds fingerboard inlay; and bone bridge pins.
