What We Think

Condition: Used, Good - Some minor nicks and scratches

This Country Boy OM is a swiss-army knife guitar, lending itself to so many different applications. The guitar is small and responsive enough to produce a warm and rounded tone when played fingerstyle, but retains enough clarity and attack to really make a flat pick pronounce itself. It has very controlled sympathetic harmonies when strummed, while still having the full and lush sound to satisfy the needs of a singer-songwriter. It's more difficult to think of a situation where this guitar wouldn't be the right fit. No matter the destination, this guitar will take you there on a spectacular journey.

Manufacturer's Description from Bourgeois

You can think of the Vintage OM as a smaller version of our Dreadnought--or maybe it's the other way around. Because of its characteristic superb balance, clarity of voice, and sustaining top register, the OM is often thought of as the quintessential fingerstyle guitar. It's not surprising, though, that more than a few players appreciate these same characteristics not only for flatpicking but also for a variety of other applications. We scallop both sides of the X brace on our OM. This provides the” looseness” required in a smaller guitar to produce a clear, strong bass response, and power and projection that belies its size.

About Manufacturer

Bourgeois Guitars are defining the future of vintage tone, combining old-world hand-voicing techniques with modern innovations in design and materials. Built in a ca. 1850s mill in the industrial town of Lewiston Maine, master luthier Dana Bourgeois and his small team of highly skilled craftsman produce some of the finest steel-string instruments available today. 
 
Known for tonal excellence, meticulous craftsmanship and top-notch materials, they are played by six-string luminaries such as Bryan Sutton, Ricky Skaggs, Sean Watkins, Della Mae, the late Doc Watson and countless professional and nonprofessional enthusiasts. Bourgeois guitars have had a prominent role in the American steel-string guitar renaissance for more than two decades, helping shape acoustic music’s most recent rise in popularity.
