Sound Pure's Take
While we always love the combination of Adirondack and Mahogany, we love it most in an OM. Pure, rich, and responsive, this Country Boy OM will react to the dynamics of your right hand and inspire some truly expressive playing. And with the full Aged Tone treatment, including not just the Adirondack top, but the Adirondack braces too, this instrument sounds played in like some of the best vintage boxes to pass through our shop. Fingerstyle or flatpick, dug in or soft touch, this Bourgeois will not disappoint!
From Bourgeois Guitars
OM, 14 Fret 25.5” scale: 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.
