Sound Pure's Take
Man, oh man, what a guitar. Just a perfect (and pretty darn close to mint!) example of Dana Bourgeois' mastery of his craft. This OMC manages to have the woody, direct, resonant voice of a wizened ol' flattop with all of the detail, sensitivity, and color of a classical instrument. Our luthier performed a fantastic setup that has fine-tuned playability to encourage all of the honest versatility this model has to offer--alternating between comfortable fingerstyle and full-voiced flatpicking is a breeze.

Orchestra Model
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.
