Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
This guitar is a dense forest of tone!
Seriously, it's got a bass response that goes back. . .and back. . .and back!
The sustain is un-earthly. It will make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up
It's clear, though. It's SO clear.
The notes have that SHIVER to them, but they don't get in each other's way
They move like a team, ducking and weaving around each other deftly
With a flat-pick, it can take on the fiercest dread
With fingers, it's an OM on steroids
Imagine "Blackbird" resounding like church bells through a mountain range
This guitar is a force of nature
Perhaps it's this enlarged soundhole that really raises the water level
We're swimming in tone here, folks ;)
From Bourgeois Guitars
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.
