Sound Pure's Take

Sometimes we find a particular recipe for a particular model from a particular manufacturer that we love so much, we just can't help but order one after another. This OM Vintage is one of those truly special combinations we've come to love, so much so, that this is the third one we've ordered; this time with a gorgeous Aged Tone Bearclaw Sitka Spruce top! Dana's sunburst finishes are second to none, glowing from within in an almost supernatural way with a sound that matches. Each note is distinct and clear while the harmonic complexity of the overtones create an unbelievably spacious sound. This guitar will go 10 rounds with any vintage piece you put it up against and wins be unanimous decision every time!

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.
