2019 - Bourgeois OMS Custom - White Spruce & Figured Mahogany

The 2019 Bourgeois OMS Custom in White Spruce and Figured Mahogany carries itself with the quiet radiance of an instrument shaped by skill, intuition and a deep reverence for tradition. Though it has been played, its condition remains wonderful, and it wears its years with the same grace that defines its voice. This guitar feels alive the moment it is lifted, with a balance and weight that promise both agility and presence. At 4 pounds 2 ounces, it sits lightly in the hands yet speaks with the authority that Bourgeois instruments are known for.

The White Spruce top gathers light in a soft sheen, its grain running straight and true like the opening lines of a story still being written. Paired with the shimmering Figured Mahogany back and sides, the guitar reflects a warm, honeyed glow that hints at both clarity and depth. The wood rings rosette draws the eye inward, simple yet captivating, while the rope top purfling adds a touch of vintage romance. A slender arrowhead backstrip runs the spine of the guitar, giving the mahogany a sense of motion, almost as if the wood itself is stretching toward song.

Ziricote appears throughout the instrument like dark ink on fine parchment. It frames the body, the headstock and the fingerboard with elegant precision. Its head veneer supports the Mother of Pearl Bourgeois logo, which gleams like a quiet signature in the upper air. Black and maple purfling lines the head and fingerboard, lending contrast that feels both subtle and refined. The ebony fingerboard and ebony pyramid bridge complete the visual language of the guitar, grounding its beauty in timeless materials that promise longevity.

The mahogany slotted head shape, touched with a ziricote heel cap and anchored by gold Waverly tuners, brings an air of classic refinement. Every detail has been chosen with intention, from the celluloid pickguard to the bone pins with black dots. Built with animal protein glue and voiced with Dana Bourgeois’s signature precision, the guitar has a responsiveness that rewards even the lightest touch. The long 25.5 inch scale length gives notes a taut clarity, while the comfortable 1 and three quarter inch nut and 2 and five sixteenths inch bridge spacing invite expressive play, whether in intricate fingerstyle or open throated strumming.

This OMS Custom carries a voice shaped by contrast. The spruce offers shimmer and articulation, while the figured mahogany brings warmth and a gentle sweetness that lingers at the edges of each note. Together they form a tone that feels balanced yet complex, quick to bloom yet slow to fade. It is the kind of sound that encourages reflection and invites melody. Held in the hands, this guitar becomes a companion for both quiet exploration and bold expression.

Protected by its hard case and authenticated by its signature label, this 2019 Bourgeois OMS Custom stands as a beautiful testament to thoughtful craftsmanship. It carries with it the subtle marks of time, not as blemishes but as whispers of songs played and songs yet to come.
