Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

The JOM is wonderfully rich and bassy, a great choice for players looking for dreadnought-esque response in a smaller package, but fingerstyle players looking for a more even response without losing that rich presence can have their cake and eat it, too, with this guitar!

SP Luthier Notes: Setup

From Bourgeois Guitars

Adirondack spruce, also known as Eastern Red Spruce, was the legendary topwood used on most pre-war American-made guitars. Properly sawn, Adirondack is much stiffer than Sitka and Engelmann spruce, both along and across the grain. This allows us to make thinner, lighter tops, resulting in lightning-quick response and power to spare. Most guitar grade "Adirondack" spruce these days comes from our own backyard--the state of Maine, which still has large stands of original and second growth softwood forests.
To maintain a vintage look, we select only the highest grade of East Indian rosewood, perfectly matched and quartered with tight, straight grain and darker-than-average color.
