Hear This Instrument: Bourgeois DB Signature OM Adirondack Spruce and Madagascar Rosewood

Recorded In-House on a Sony PCM-D50 handheld recorder with no compression or eq.

Madagascar Rosewood is known for being the most similar tonewood to the Brazilian species. Offering many of the same sonic characteristics, Madagascar is also becoming difficult to harvest and export. Madagascar has much of the same rich overtone range as Brazilian, as well as a slightly "reverby" quality... and with examples such as the set used on this Dana Bourgeois Signature OM, it is hard to imagine a more beautiful back and sides on any guitar.

The DB Signature upgrade is an especially elegant combination reflecting the masterful craftsmanship of Dana Bourgeois. A new rosette and herringbone purfling was designed for the DB Signature models to compliment Dana's earlier design of the DB backstrip. The binding is finely flamed Curly Koa, and accents this set of woods better than we could have ever imagined.

Regarding the tone, Dana has chosen the wood specifically for the way it sounds, rather than it's appearance, although they usually look amazing, regardless. The Adirondack and Madagascar on this DB Signature models is some of the best sounding examples of each species... especially after Dana's tuning and bracing techniques. It's hard to imagine a nicer sound coming out of a OM... the guitar sounds much larger than it's small size and is smooth and balanced. An instant shop favorite!
