- Bourgeois Guitars - Bourgeois Guitars, created by guitar maker Dana Bourgeois, is a top American guitar brand, alongside Collings and Santa Cruz. The guitars are made using caref ully selected materials, solid technical skills, and designs born from Dana's extensive experience, and they combine ``high precision as instruments'' with ``a rich, musical tone,'' earning them high praise from many musicians. - Touchstone Series - The appeal of the Touchstone Series lies in Dana Bourgeois' hand voicing system (also known as tap tuning, which involves striking the wood to check the tone). Over the past 50 years, he has honed this time-honored technique and is now recognized worldwide as a leading expert in voicing guitar tops, selecting the finest tonewoods in the world by interpreting the tonal potential hidden within their fibers. To maximize the "tone" of each wood, each brace is painstakingly carved and hand-voiced to ensure the sound is perfect. Once a Touchstone Series top is completed, only those that have passed a final inspection by Dana are vacuum-sealed and shipped to the Eastman workshop. There, Eastman's hand-picked luthiers, meticulously trained in Beaujois' philosophy and construction methodology, bring each guitar to life. This instrument, the "Vintage/TS OM," is an OM-28 style guitar with a highly playable orchestral body. It has uncompromising, authentic specifications, including a Sitka spruce top, Adirondack spruce bracing, Indian rosewood back and sides, mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard and bridge, and Schaller pegs. The sound is also excellent, rivaling that of the all-USA-made Beaujois. It features the thick, lustrous fundamental tone and voluminous midrange characteristic of Beaujois, as well as beautiful, lingering overtones and a long sustain without being too assertive. All of these are blended in exquisite balance, producing a pure tone that brings out the player's nuances. This #T2501253 is an attractive instrument with the well-balanced sound range and soft, rich tone that is unique to OM. The Beaujois OM's signature solid midrange and outstanding picking response are still present, and are truly impressive. The soft, mellow sound that is unique to this instrument is truly wonderful, with beautiful, soft, musical overtones from pianissimo to fortissimo, making this a truly captivating instrument. It also looks fantastic, with the Indian rosewood on the back and sides having a unique reddish-brown color and straight, well-formed grain, making it a truly beautiful specimen. A recommended product with great sound and looks!! Don't miss out!! At just 500,000 yen, this is a very affordable model among Beaujois models, but it would be a shame to describe it as cost-effective; it has been crafted with no compromises whatsoever, resulting in an instrument that allows you to experience overwhelming sound quality. Please take this opportunity to experience it for yourself!!Body Shape: OM Top Wood: Alaskan Sitka Spruce Back Sides: Indian Rosewood Neck: Mahogany Fretboard: Ebony Bridge: Ebony Traditional Scale Length: 25.5 (647.7 mm) Nut/Bridge Width: Nut-1 23/32(43.7mm) Bridge-2.2(55.8mm) Saddle: Bone Tuners: Schaller Grand Tune Nickel Pins: Ivoroid Finish: High Gloss Bracing: Adirondack Spruce Hard case included Show more
