The Bourgeois OMSC Custom in Redwood & Cocobolo is an extraordinary example of boutique acoustic guitar craftsmanship, bringing together exceptional tonewoods, intricate appointments, and the unmistakable musicality of a Dana Bourgeois-built instrument. Featuring a Master Grade Redwood top paired with premium Cocobolo back and sides, this custom OMSC offers a remarkable combination of warmth, richness, responsiveness, and tonal complexity. The Redwood top provides exceptional sensitivity and a beautifully nuanced voice, while the Cocobolo contributes depth, strong fundamentals, shimmering overtones, and impressive projection. Internally, aged-tone torrefied Adirondack spruce braces enhance the instrument's responsiveness, while the X-braced back construction further contributes to its distinctive tonal character.

Visually, this OMSC is an absolute showpiece, with an extraordinary collection of carefully coordinated details that highlight the natural beauty of its tonewoods. Ziricote body binding, Soloist top purfling, and an elegant abalone rosette create a sophisticated presentation, while the Ziricote backstrip and Cocobolo endpiece inlay add further visual interest. A beautifully integrated sound port with a Ziricote bezel provides both a distinctive aesthetic touch and an enhanced listening experience for the player. The cutaway body design offers improved upper-fret access without compromising the instrument's elegant proportions.

The attention to detail continues throughout the neck and headstock appointments. The square headstock features a distinctive Diamond Head shape, Cocobolo head veneer, a mother-of-pearl Bourgeois logo, and Cocobolo binding accented with black and maple purfling. The ebony fingerboard and bridge provide a classic foundation, complemented by tiny mother-of-pearl dot inlays and elaborate Ziricote fingerboard binding with black and cream purfling. Gold Waverly tuners with Snakewood buttons add a luxurious finishing touch, while the bone bridge pins with black dots and traditional pyramid bridge complete the instrument's refined appearance. A signature label further emphasizes its custom-built character.

Designed for exceptional comfort and playability, the OMSC features a 25.5" long scale, 1 3/4" nut width, and 2 5/16" bridge spacing, providing a familiar and versatile playing platform for fingerstyle players and flatpickers alike. The high-gloss Aged Tone body finish beautifully showcases the natural character of the Redwood and Cocobolo, while the satin neck finish provides a smooth, comfortable playing feel. A high-gloss headstock finish completes the presentation. Traditional animal protein glue construction further reflects the attention to detail and time-honored building techniques associated with the finest boutique acoustic instruments.

The Bourgeois OMSC Custom is far more than a beautifully appointed acoustic guitar. It is a carefully conceived combination of extraordinary tonewoods, refined craftsmanship, and thoughtful design, resulting in an instrument with tremendous visual presence and the potential for an exceptionally expressive musical voice. From its Master Grade Redwood top and premium Cocobolo body to its elaborate Ziricote appointments and premium hardware, every detail reflects an uncompromising approach to acoustic guitar building. For the player seeking a truly special boutique acoustic with remarkable materials, exceptional craftsmanship, and a voice that rewards every nuance of their playing, this Bourgeois OMSC Custom is an extraordinary opportunity.
