Description

The 2019 Bourgeois Luthier's Choice OMC is a masterful fusion of artistry and innovation, an instrument where impeccable craftsmanship meets the soul of the finest tonewoods. At its heart, a Bearclaw-figured Aged Tone Adirondack spruce top glows beneath a rich sunburst finish, its striking grain a testament to the unpredictable beauty of nature. This exquisite top is paired with Master Grade Koa back and sides, a wood prized not only for its visual depth but for its remarkable balance of warmth and articulation. Bound in lustrous Ziricote, with Soloist-style purfling and a floating box Ziricote endpiece inlay, every edge of this guitar is adorned with refined elegance.

The details of the Luthier’s Choice OMC speak to an unparalleled level of craftsmanship. The Kiwi Jade wood rosette encircles the soundhole with a delicate, natural radiance, while the mitered Zircon backstrip adds an understated touch of sophistication. The mahogany square headstock, crowned with a Ziricote veneer and framed with black and maple purfling, is adorned with the ethereal Petite Vine inlay—a motif echoed along the ebony fretboard. Every transition is seamless, from the gracefully carved Ziricote heel cap to the arm bevel, which is accentuated by custom purfling for both comfort and beauty.

Beyond its visual allure, this guitar is designed for sonic brilliance. The aged tone torrefied bracing ensures both responsiveness and depth, allowing every note to bloom with clarity and resonance. The cutaway design invites effortless access to the upper frets, while the 25.5" scale length and 1 3/4" nut width provide a familiar yet dynamic playing experience. Waverly gold tuners with ebony buttons add a final flourish of vintage refinement, offering precise tuning stability. Anchored by an ebony pyramid bridge, bone pins with black dots, and an elegantly contoured celluloid pickguard, this 4 lb 8 oz masterpiece is both an instrument and a work of art.

Encased in a protective hard case, the 2019 Bourgeois Luthier's Choice OMC is a rare and exceptional guitar, a true embodiment of luthiery at its highest level. Designed for the discerning musician, it offers a voice that is as complex as its aesthetics—rich, articulate, and endlessly inspiring.
