What We Think

This spectacular high-gloss Bourgeois Downeast OMCE Soloist is an exquisite orchestral masterpiece that blends premium tonewoods with Dana Bourgeois' legendary acoustic engineering. Featuring a thermally cured Aged Tone Sitka spruce top paired with lush Indian rosewood back and sides, this lightweight four-pound eight-ounce cutaway model projects a deeply mature, broken-in voice rich with sparkling overtones and robust low-end warmth. The sleek ebony fingerboard is framed by clean black binding and adorned with striking abalone slotted squares and diamonds, providing a smooth and fast canvas for complex fingerstyle or flatpicking arrangements. Balanced flawlessly by a traditional 2 5/16" ebony bridge, a premium Ziricote headstock veneer, and high-precision Der Jung tuners, this guitar matches its sonic brilliance with top-tier visual elegance. Complete with an elegant wood-ring rosette, ivoroid bridge pins, and a premium hardshell case, this responsive instrument brings an inspiring and highly articulate energy to any player's collection.

Manufacturer's Description from Bourgeois

The OMC Soloist is one of Bourgeois’ most significant innovations. Co-designed with Eric Schoenberg and produced by Martin for Schoenberg Guitars in the 1980s, the original Schoenberg Soloist preceded Martin’s own reintroduction of its now iconic Orchestra Model, last produced in the early 1930s. Today, in all configurations the OM is the world’s second most popular acoustic guitar, a tribute to the vision and pioneering work of Schoenberg and Bourgeois. 

OM magic is created when a medium-sized body pairs with a long scale, 14 fret neck to produce a steel-string guitar endowed with exceptional balance and surprising clarity and presence. The OM became a Soloist when Bourgeois designed an elegant soft cutaway (itself widely emulated) that successfully complements an otherwise vintage aesthetic, while minimally altering the critical relationship between top surface area, air cavity volume, and string tension.

Bourgeois’ Downeast OMCE Soloist features an Aged Tone torrefied Sitka top, Indian Rosewood back and sides and a fingerstyle-friendly 1 3/4” nut. Respecting a now long Soloist tradition, the OMCE is simply but elegantly appointed with wooden bindings and purflings, short-pattern squares and diamonds fretboard inlays, and a rectangular vintage-inspired ebony bridge.

Bourgeois guitars have had a prominent role in the American steel-string guitar renaissance for more than two decades, helping shape acoustic music’s most recent rise in popularity.
