Folks, this is where it started for Dana Bourgeois.  The OM with Selmer Maccaferri-style cutaway remains his most popular calling card.  The man is the godfather of American boutique guitars and this model proves it--emphatically!  Dana builds his signature models from start to finish, ensuring that the end user is left with nothing but mastery across the trifecta of feel, looks, and sound.  With a broader dynamic range than just about any OM out there, the precision of a 00, and the power and authority of a dreadnought, this OMC-DB can put entire collections into disuse.  Find out what the new Golden Era of guitar building is all about!

Condition: Used, Excellent - Mint

"Many years ago, Eric Schoenberg dreamed about having an OM with a cutaway styled after the Selmer Maccaferri guitar. I drew up something that he liked and started building, but found that I wasn't able, at the time, to make such a tight bend in the side! So I gave up and substituted the much rounder version that I still use today." The OM is already a small guitar. It's unique sound results from the ratio between it's 25.5" scale length, the surface area of its soundboard, and the volume of it's air cavity. The addition of a cutaway, therefore, is no small consideration. Harmonizing beautifully with the classic curves of the original OM outline, Dana's solution offers three additional frets of accessibility while minimally altering the OM's critical proportions. The standard OMC with a European spruce top is a fingerpicker's dream. (Sitka and Adirondack spruce tops are also offered as popular options.) The OMC is simply and elegantly appointed with East Indian Rosewood back and sides, a wood rosette, Short patterned Squares and diamonds inlay, Ebony pyramid bridge, tortoiseshell binding and gold Waverly tuners. Sean Watkins, of Nickel Creek, used his Bourgeois OMC to record most of the cuts on his CD, Let It Fall. The solo guitar piece, "Cloudbreak", is an excellent example of what the OMC is all about. An audio clip of "Cloudbreak" can be found on the Let It Fall page of the website, www.sugarhillrecords.com. Check it out!
