The Bourgeois OM Deep Body Banjo Killer combines the balance and versatility of the Orchestra Model platform with the enhanced depth, power, and responsiveness of a deep body design. Crafted with a premium Bearclaw Figured Sitka Spruce top and beautifully figured Mahogany back and sides, this instrument offers a compelling blend of clarity, warmth, and dynamic range, making it equally suited for fingerstyle playing, flatpicking, and vocal accompaniment.
The tonal foundation is driven by Bourgeois' Double Scalloped Adirondack Spruce "Banjo Killer" bracing, a design that delivers exceptional responsiveness and headroom while preserving remarkable note definition and articulation. The deep body construction adds richness and low-end presence beyond that typically associated with a traditional OM, creating a voice that is full, balanced, and highly expressive across the entire register.
The combination of Bearclaw Sitka spruce and figured Mahogany produces a tonal character that is both powerful and refined. The top contributes clarity, projection, and dynamic sensitivity, while the Mahogany body offers warmth, focus, and a strong midrange presence. Together, they create an instrument capable of exceptional nuance while maintaining the projection and authority needed for ensemble playing.
A Snakehead Honduran Mahogany neck provides outstanding stability and comfort, paired with a Ziricote fingerboard and belly bridge that add both visual distinction and tonal refinement. Elegant appointments include Ivoroid body and fingerboard bindings, Banjo Killer top purfling, a wood rings rosette, DB Signature backstrip with black line, a figured Mahogany endpiece inlay, and a Ziricote head veneer featuring the Mother-of-Pearl Bourgeois logo. Tiny Mother-of-Pearl position markers and a classic celluloid tortoise pickguard complete the instrument's sophisticated aesthetic.
Finished with a high-gloss body and headstock and complemented by a smooth satin neck finish, the OM Deep Body Banjo Killer presents a refined appearance while providing an effortless playing experience. Waverly nickel tuners with ivoroid buttons ensure exceptional tuning stability and precision, while ebony bridge pins with pearl dots provide a tasteful finishing touch.
With its 25.5-inch scale length, 1 23/32-inch nut width, 2.2-inch bridge spacing, and lightweight 4 lb. 4 oz. build, this Bourgeois OM Deep Body Banjo Killer offers an impressive combination of comfort, responsiveness, and tonal sophistication. It is a finely crafted instrument that showcases Bourgeois' ability to blend traditional design principles with modern voicing expertise, resulting in a guitar that is both versatile and inspiring in the hands of discerning players.
